OUR COMMITMENT
Being part of the green hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia value chain
We are determined to become a true agent of positive change by advancing the decarbonisation of our products.
WHAT WE DO: GREEN HYDROGEN AND LOW CARBON AMMONIA
Leading the production of green hydrogen and low carbon ammonia in Europe
We are committed to local renewable energies for the production and use of green hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia, which we use in the development of product lines such as Impact Zero, our low-carbon plant nutrition solution.
INNOVATION APPLIED TO SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Green hydrogen: our commitment to achieving decarbonisation of our portfolio
Green hydrogen and low carbon ammonia: from dependence on natural gas to resilience and sustainability of indigenous renewable energies
The production of our nitrogen solutions is based on ammonia. Ammonia in turn is made from water, air and hydrogen.
To meet the needs of all our customers, both agricultural and industrial, we need to produce and consume a large amount of hydrogen, namely 160,000 tonnes per year, 60% of which is produced in our own plants and the rest is imported already transformed into ammonia.
What do we use hydrogen for?
To generate ammonia which, in turn, is the basis for the production of our nitrogen fertilisers and other industrial products such as AdBlue®.
What is our challenge?
Hydrogen production is an energy-intensive process. Until now, this hydrogen has been manufactured from fossil sources such as natural gas imported from third countries, which means CO2 emissions. To achieve climate neutrality in our industrial activity, our challenge is to progressively replace all the natural gas we now use in the production of this hydrogen with renewable energy produced indigenously.
This goes hand in hand with a plan to exponentially expand our production capacity with the aim of becoming one of the world leaders in the manufacture of clean ammonia, by completing a series of projects with the ambition of generating up to 2.5 million tonnes per year.
OUR PROJECTS
We participate in green hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia initiatives
Fertiberia is currently a pioneer and world leader in the development of green hydrogen and low carbon ammonia in the world and we participate in the main European consortia associated with the production of green hydrogen.
All of them are located in Spain, one of the most competitive renewable energy markets in Europe for solar photovoltaic, wind and hydropower.
Fertiberia, a major consumer of green hydrogen
At Fertiberia we consume and produce about 160,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year, which allows us to produce ammonia with which we then develop our crop nutrition solutions.
We are, therefore, the major consumer of green hydrogen in all the consortia of which we form part, and we make them economically viable by guaranteeing the consumption of production from the outset.
Furthermore, we have become the first company to start up a large-scale green ammonia and green fertiliser plant in Europe, at our Puertollano facilities (Spain), where we already produce the world's first 100% sustainable and decarbonised plant nutrition solutions based on green hydrogen (Impact Zero®).
Find out about our portfolio of projects, in various stages of development, with which we will promote the decarbonisation of agriculture and other sectors.
With all of these projects, we aim to produce up to 2.5 million tonnes of low carbon ammonia per year.
