Press kit | Yara’s renewable hydrogen plant at Herya, Norway [Video]

Yara has officially opened its renewable hydrogen plant at Herøya, Norway. 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.

Yara has already delivered the first tonnes of fertilizers made from renewable ammonia produced at the plant. The low-carbon footprint fertilizers produced and delivered will be part of a new portfolio called Yara Climate Choice. 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.

Low emission ammonia, both produced with renewable energy and with carbon capture and storage, is essential to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement, and CCS is a critical step to decarbonize rapidly and profitably. While Yara is uniquely positioned to deliver decarbonized solutions …
