Yara opens renewable hydrogen plant: “A major milestone”
Today, Yara International is officially opening its
renewable hydrogen plant at Herøya, Norway. Yara is now producing
renewable hydrogen and ammonia and has already delivered the first
tonnes of fertilizers made from renewable ammonia produced at this
plant. "This is a major milestone for Yara and for the
decarbonization of the food value chain, shipping fuel and other
energy intensive industries," says Svein Tore Holsether, President
& CEO of Yara.
The Norwegian Prime Minister Mr. Jonas Gahr Støre today
inaugurated the 24 MW renewable hydrogen plant at Herøya Industrial
Park, the largest of its kind currently in operation in Europe. The
hydrogen is produced with electrolysis of water and renewable
energy, replacing natural gas as feedstock and annually cutting
41,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from the site.
"This is a ground-breaking project and a testament to our
mission to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet. I
want to thank our dedicated employees who have worked tirelessly to
get this cutting-edge production up and running, Enova for
supporting the project, our partners and our brave customers who
are first movers towards a more sustainable future. We are very
pleased to have delivered the first tonnes of low-carbon footprint
fertilizers to Lantmännen, a partnership which serves as a concrete
example of how collaboration across the entire food value chain is
required to decarbonize. Together, we have made this important step
towards decarbonizing hard to abate sectors," says Holsether.
The low-carbon footprint fertilizers produced and delivered will
be part of a new portfolio called Yara Climate Choice. These
solutions will benefit crops while at the same time contributing to
decarbonizing the food value chain and reducing climate impact. In
addition to fertilizers produced with electrolysis of water and
renewable energy, fertilizers based on low-carbon ammonia produced
using carbon capture storage (CCS) will be a large part of Yara’s
portfolio going forward.
"Renewable ammonia is an important part of the decarbonization
puzzle, however developing it at scale takes time. As the world is
rapidly approaching 2030, we are also working to produce low-carbon
ammonia with CCS to enable the hydrogen economy and develop the
emerging markets for low-emission ammonia," says Hans Olav Raen,
CEO of Yara Clean Ammonia.
In 2023, Yara signed a binding CO2 transport and storage
agreement with Northern Lights, the world’s first cross-border CCS
agreement in operation. Yara aims to reduce its annual
CO2-emissions by 800,000 tons from the ammonia production at Yara
Sluiskil. Yara is also evaluating one to two world-scale low-carbon
ammonia production projects with CCS in the US.
"The world needs to act urgently on multiple fronts to reach the
goals of the Paris Agreement, and CCS is a critical steppingstone
to decarbonize rapidly and profitably. The green transition will
require investments, predictable framework conditions, massive
build-out of renewable energy and grid, continuously advancing
technology, and a maturing market where demand and supply are
developed simultaneously. The companies who take this seriously
will have a competitive advantage. At Yara, we have already reduced
our emissions by 45 percent since 2005, and with our strategy to
profitably deliver decarbonized solutions quickly and at scale,
produced with both renewable energy and CCS, we are uniquely
positioned to deliver, both to shareholders, customers, employees
and society at large," says Holsether.
Hydrogen is used to produce ammonia, which in turn is used to
produce fertilizers and can also be used as shipping fuel. Ammonia
is also an efficient energy- and hydrogen carrier.
