Yara's New Ammonia Terminal in Germany: Boosting the Hydrogen Economy
Key Ideas
  • Yara International inaugurated an ammonia import terminal in Brunsbüttel, Germany, with the capacity to import up to three million tonnes of low-emission ammonia annually, supporting the hydrogen economy.
  • The terminal's strategic location on the North Sea and Kiel Canal positions it as a key hub for enabling the German and European hydrogen strategies, contributing to the energy transition.
  • The ammonia imported can be cracked to low-emission hydrogen, aiding in the decarbonization of key industries like steel and chemicals through the use of significant quantities of ammonia.
  • Low-emission ammonia production methods include electrolysis with renewable electricity or carbon capture and storage (CCS), aligning with a low-carbon future and supporting Germany's net-zero goals.
Yara International has officially opened its new ammonia import terminal in Brunsbüttel, Germany, signaling a significant move towards supporting the hydrogen economy in Europe. The terminal has the capacity to import up to three million tonnes of low-emission ammonia annually, which can contribute to the German hydrogen strategy and aid in the country's energy transition. The strategic location of Brunsbüttel on the North Sea and Kiel Canal makes it a crucial hub for facilitating the distribution of low-emission ammonia, with the potential to play a key role in Europe's hydrogen economy. By cracking the imported low-emission ammonia to produce hydrogen, industries like steel and chemicals can advance their decarbonization efforts. The production methods for low-emission ammonia include electrolysis with renewable electricity or carbon capture and storage (CCS), in line with efforts towards a low-carbon future and Germany's net-zero ambitions. The inauguration of this terminal represents a milestone for Yara and a step towards a sustainable, low-carbon future in the region.
