Genesis Fertilizers partners with thyssenkrupp Uhde

This partnership represents a key step in Genesis Fertilizers’ mission to construct Western Canada’s first low-carbon nitrogen fertilizer facility, prioritising sustainability and farmer-focused solutions.

At the heart of nitrogen fertilizer production lies ammonia, the essential building block for sustainable agriculture. thyssenkrupp Uhde’s advanced uhde® ammonia technology integrates innovations that maximise energy efficiency, minimise emissions, and ensures consistent nitrogen yields being based on well referenced and reliable design. This technology is central to Genesis Fertilizers’ vision of providing a stable, locally sourced fertilizer supply to farmers across Western Canada.

thyssenkrupp Uhde’s proprietary uhde® ammonia technology combines nitrogen from the air with hydrogen sourced from natural gas. Their systems are designed to reduce energy consumption, stabilise production costs, and limit emissions – key benefits for Canadian agriculture.

For Western Canadian farmers, this partnership directly addresses critical challenges:

• By reducing reliance on volatile global markets, the proposed facility offers a consistent local source of nitrogen fertilizers.
• Enhanced production efficiency ensures more stable pricing for farmers, helping them plan and manage costs effectively.
• Reduced carbon emissions align with the environmental commitments of farmers and the broader agricultural sector.

By integrating thyssenkrupp Uhde’s technology, Genesis Fertilizers is laying the foundation for a sustainable agricultural future in Western Canada. This partnership is a step toward creating a resilient fertilizer supply chain that directly benefits farmers.

Genesis Fertilizers remains on track for future development phases, with commercial operations targeted to commence by 2029. The company will continue to share updates as it achieves critical milestones, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and farmer engagement.
