The AmoMax-Casale catalyst has been selected for a green ammonia project being jointly developed by The Hydrogen Utility and Casale in South Australia.

The Beatrice, Enid and Fort Dodge plants have earned 2021 ENERGY STAR certification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The MoU will explore green hydrogen project development opportunities in India's fertilizer industry, as well as the chemical, refining and petrochemical sectors.

As part of an initiative at the Herøya facility to replace the current hydrogen production process through liquefied fossil gas with green hydrogen based on renewable energy, Casale has committed its own technology, including the design of brand-new ammonia converter internals.

Arianne Phosphate has initiated a research programme aimed at the development of a new breed of fertilizers using organic waste and the company’s high-purity, low-contaminant phosphate concentrate.

The memorandum includes initiatives to design a process that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions (CO2 and N2O) at Acron Group’s existing production sites.

The electrolyser plant will produce enough hydrogen to create 20 500 tpy of ammonia, which can be converted to between 60 000 and 80 000 t of green fertilizer.

Once completed, the plant will be a fully integrated, carbon-neutral facility, using solar and wind energy to produce 300 tpd of ammonia.

Instead of using fossil fuels such as natural gas to produce ammonia, the green fertilizers will be produced with ammonia based on renewable energy produced in Europe, such as Norwegian hydropower.

Uralkali plans to lower GHG emissions intensity (Scopes 1 and 2) by 10% by 2025 and by 20% by 2030.

The new, independent company has been named Elessent Clean Technologies.

Harvest Minerals is now working with Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais S.A) - Minas Gerais state power company - to connect the solar plant to the power grid, which is expected to be completed in January/February 2022.

Mosaic will emphasise opportunities to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from its operations.

The electrolyser will produce green hydrogen as feedstock for up to 90 000 t of green ammonia production at EBIC in Ain Sokhna, Egypt.

Canadian company FuelPositive is targeting farming for its first demonstration pilot project.
