Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide a technology license, proprietary engineering design, equipment and catalyst solutions for AMUFERT's 2300 tpd ammonia plant.

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

The study, a collaboration of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Purdue University, and Pivot Bio, presented evidence showing how gene-editing enhances microbes' ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and transfer it to cereal crops.

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.

Stamicarbon will apply its proprietary technology for a tailor-made solution to remove nitrous oxide from the tail gas stream, optimising nitric acid production and reducing the carbon footprint of the plant.

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.

The product comes from renewable sources and has up to a 90% lower carbon footprint compared to similar fertilizer produced with fossil-based natural gas.

The expanded capacity of the proposed facility expects to produce over 1 128 000 tpy of ammonia and nitrogen-based fertilizers, including urea, urea ammonium sulfate (UAS), and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) (based on current market mix expectations).

The company has signed the sales and service agreements with Topsoe for the fabrication of the first 100 MW of solid oxide electrolysers. The project at Port of Victoria, Texas, US, will commence commercial operation in 2027.

US$1.4 billion returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends in first nine months of 2024.

This agreement will allow TE H2 together with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and A.P. Møller Capital to launch the pre-FEED studies.

Under the MoU, BASF and AM Green intend to conduct feasibility studies on low-carbon chemicals production in India including a joint evaluation of potential technologies.

The company has announced that its N-OVATOR sustainability programme has reached the milestone of 1.4 million enrolled acres qualified to generate nitrogen credits during the 2024 growing season.

ADNOC has announced the completion of its acquisition of OCI Global’s 50% + 1 shareholding in Fertiglobe plc, increasing its share in the Company to 86.2%, with 13.8% remaining in free float on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).

The proposed transformation would entail closure of the ammonia unit and shifting production towards the site’s most competitive products.
