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.
