Fertilizer Industry

The fertilizer industry is undergoing a transformative shift globally towards green & low carbon solutions. The heart of this transition is green ammonia which is a clean, renewable & alternative to traditional ammonia & is a vital component in nitrogen-based fertilizers.

Additionally, the industry is facing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ammonia production accounts for nearly 2% global CO₂ emissions as it is manufactured using steam methane reforming process (SMR) using natural gas based Grey Hydrogen. Fertilizer industry is now transitioning to Green Ammonia which is made from green hydrogen which is a critical pathway to decarbonizing fertilizers.

  • Many countries are coming forward for green hydrogen and ammonia adoption in agriculture and fertilizer sectors.
  • Nuberg is positioning itself as a turnkey solution provider for such transitions.
  • We are leveraging our strong background in chemical plant EPC projects to gain a foothold in this evolving space.

Fertilizer Industry Solutions

Nuberg Green Energy is pioneering in this space by offering cutting edge technology & turnkey solutions to help the fertilizer manufactures embrace the future of green production.

Green Hydrogen Production Plants

Green Hydrogen is produced by electrolyzing water using renewable sources avoiding carbon emissions. Nuberg offers EPC solutions:

  • Electrolyzer based hydrogen plants
  • Integrated solar/wind based electrolyzer systems
  • Hydrogen handling & storage systems

Use in Fertilizers: Hydrogen is a critical feedstock for green ammonia, which is used in urea and ammonium nitrate fertilizers.

Green Ammonia Plants

Green Ammonia is made by combining Green Hydrogen (from electrolysis) & nitrogen (extracted from air). Nuberg has capabilities to contribute in design/engineering, procurement & construction of green ammonia plants & provides integration solutions in GNH₃ facilities.

Benefits to fertilizer producers:

  • Decarbonizes existing fertilizer production lines
  • Helps to meet environmental, social, governance goals & sustainability
Hybrid and Retrofit Solutions
  • Retrofit existing ammonia plants to switch to green hydrogen from natural gas
  • For a transitional approach, combining grey/blue hydrogen with green hydrogen
  • Blending green ammonia into conventional supply by developing hybrid fertilizer systems

It makes it easier for traditional fertilizer companies to transition without full overhauls.

Impact on Fertilizer Industry

  • Meet net-zero emission targets
  • Reduce dependency on fossil fuels
  • Support in obtaining government/green subsidies - National Green Hydrogen Mission (India)
