Decarbonizing Ammonia Production in Spain: A Green Revolution in Agriculture
Key Ideas
  • Grupo Fertiberia collaborates with thyssenkrupp Uhde to reduce carbon footprint in its ammonia facility in Puertollano, Spain.
  • Transition to green hydrogen and green ammonia production at the site aligns with Fertiberia's Net Zero By 2035 strategy.
  • Thyssenkrupp Uhde's expertise aids in the shift from grey to green ammonia production, contributing to the global green revolution.
  • The overhaul strategy aims to maintain plant capacity while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the use of renewable green hydrogen.
Grupo Fertiberia and thyssenkrupp Uhde are working together to decarbonize the ammonia production facility in Puertollano, Spain. Originally operating since 1969 with naphtha as feedstock, the plant has undergone multiple upgrades to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Fertiberia's transition to natural gas and the recent production of green hydrogen and green ammonia mark significant steps towards carbon neutrality by 2035. Thyssenkrupp Uhde's expertise is crucial in enabling this transition, focusing on shifting production to environmentally-friendly green ammonia. The strategy includes integrating green hydrogen production through a water electrolysis unit powered by renewable energy sources, aiming to decarbonize up to 40% of the site's production. The collaboration between Fertiberia and thyssenkrupp Uhde highlights a commitment to the green revolution in agriculture and clean energy. Thyssenkrupp Uhde, with a rich history in engineering chemical plants, is at the forefront of providing clean ammonia technologies and solutions for the global transition towards sustainable energy.
