Yara International Launches Europe's Largest Green Hydrogen Facility for Green Ammonia Production
Key Ideas
  • Yara International has inaugurated Europe's biggest green hydrogen facility in Porsgrunn, Norway, to produce green ammonia, marking a significant step in their decarbonisation efforts.
  • The facility boasts a 24-MW electrolyser, the largest in Europe, with plans to produce up to 80,000 tpy of green fertiliser, leading to a reduction of 41,000 tpy of CO2 emissions.
  • Despite some delays in other projects, Yara remains committed to decarbonisation, with ambitious plans for complete decarbonisation of its Heroya complex within five to seven years.
  • Yara is not only focusing on green ammonia but also exploring low-carbon ammonia with CCS technology and has signed agreements for CO2 transport and storage to reduce emissions globally.
Yara International has recently launched Europe's largest green hydrogen facility at its plant in Porsgrunn, Norway, to produce green ammonia as a part of its decarbonisation efforts. The 24-MW electrolyser, the largest in Europe, has already started production of low-carbon footprint fertilisers using renewable ammonia feedstock. This initiative is aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, with plans to produce up to 80,000 tonnes per year of green fertiliser. Despite challenges faced by other projects in the industry, Yara remains committed to achieving complete decarbonisation of its Heroya complex within the next five to seven years. The company is also exploring low-carbon ammonia production with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology as part of its sustainability strategy. Yara has signed agreements for CO2 transport and storage, showing a global commitment to reducing emissions. The success of the green hydrogen facility represents a major milestone for Yara and the decarbonisation of various industries.
