Third-quarter EBITDA excluding special items was US$396 million, compared with US$1001 million a year earlier.

Under the terms of the MoU, KBR will integrate SolydEra's Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOE) technology into its proprietary K-GreeN® process to deliver highly efficient green ammonia capacity worldwide.

ADNOC has selected Carbon Clean’s modular CycloneCC technology for a carbon capture project at Fertiglobe’s nitrogen fertilizer plant located in the Ruways Industrial Complex, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The partnership will enable farmers to increase yields and optimise fertilizer use, helping them contribute to the ambition of the European Union’s Farm to Fork Strategy.

The Grupa Azoty Group has released estimated output figures for August, highlighting the third consecutive month of steady growth in nitrogen fertilizer production.

The findings support long-term initiatives to develop new crop varieties with root-related traits that help agricultural producers optimise fertilizer applications.

A collaboration between two labs at Northwestern University, partnering with the University of Toronto, has found that producing urea using electrified synthesis could both denitrify wastewater while enabling low-carbon-intensity urea production.

After announcing the allocation of €4 billion to stimulate the activation of low-carbon hydrogen projects, this visit was an opportunity to see the implementation of one of the projects that could apply for this new support mechanism.

The plant based in Linz, Austria, has the aim to treat wastewaters coming from an LP-technology based melamine plant and from an HP-technology based melamine plant.

Between August and September of this year, Yacimientos Petrolófilos Fiscales Bolivianos committed to the delivery of 2500 t of granulated urea that will be used as raw material in the production plant of Cochabamba Granulated Fertilizers.

Under the agreement, COMPO EXPERT will expand the distribution of Grupa Azoty fertilizers in foreign markets.

Research teams from Iowa State University and Wichita State University are developing a system that captures waste nitrogen and carbon dioxide to produce a green fertilizer that reduces emissions of nitrous oxide.

The project is set to enhance production efficiency by substantially decreasing the energy intensity of the fertilizer manufacturing process, and will help to reduce energy consumption in the production process by over 250 000 GJ per year.

The companies have completed the Kooragang Island Decarbonisation Project in Newcastle, Australia, with the commissioning of thyssenkrupp Uhde’s EnviNOx® technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at Orica’s three on-site nitric acid plants.

The company has announced that it has signed a 60-year commercial lease for the site of the Capanda green ammonia project, located in Malanje Province, Angola.
