The company has announced the appointment of Hualei Li as the new Global Sustainability Manager at their Belgian headquarters.

The co-loaded vessel project was intended in part as a demonstration of capabilities needed for the efficient and economic transport of low-carbon ammonia to supply ports that may not require a full vessel of ammonia.

ATOME has taken an option to purchase 13 hectares (32 acres) of land immediately next to its Villeta green fertilizer facility which would allow the Villeta facility to expand its total site to 43 hectares (106 acres) of contiguous area.

The fertilizer industry is taking decisive action to address global water security challenges while ensuring sustainable agricultural production.

The announcement was made at the Green Ammonia Summit in Morris, Minnesota, US.

This funding, with existing commitments from a dedicated long-term shareholder and new investors, including Manitoba-based farmers, will allow the company to complete the final phase of pressure vessel certification, secure third-party engineering certifications, and move forward with the final step: connecting the system to Manitoba's green grid.

Atlas Agro’s innovation sprint will accelerate the expansion of our local, green nitrogen fertilizer production model with a commitment to have at least two facilities.

The company's 2024 energy transition initiatives include converting the energy source for the Furnace and Burner System of the Phonska V Plant from coal to natural gas.

The announcement was made at FarmQA Day 2024, FarmQA's second annual customer conference, where many customers, team members, and industry experts gathered for a day of learning, inspiration, and collaboration.

Clariant has announced the successful installation of its catalyst technology at Hengli Petrochemical's nitric acid plant.

The researchers identified five areas offering the most significant opportunities to offset the roughly 10% of US greenhouse gas emissions contributed by agriculture, including soil carbon management, nitrogen fertilizer management, animal production and management, crop yield gap, and efficient energy use.

Green hydrogen is a crucial supply in the chemical industry, primarily used for synthesizing methanol and ammonia. These chemicals are essential ingredients in manufacturing methanol, polymers, and ammonia, significantly contributing to the fertilizer sector.

Copernic plans to scale its ammonia synthesis catalyst to the kg-scale, and to expand beyond that work to develop a second catalyst target for the Fischer-Tropsch syngas-to-sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with Schrödinger, thereby improving the carbon footprint of the aviation industry.

This project will establish the world’s first hybrid green ammonia production facility, utilising an ammonia plant operated by Pupuk Iskandar Muda (PIM), a subsidiary of Pupuk Indonesia, in Aceh.

As the global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, ensuring food security will only become more critical. Fertilizer is the backbone of the agri-food sector, responsible for nearly half of the world’s food production.
