A fuel for the future
Ammonia, which does not emit CO2 when burned, is expected to become a next-generation fuel as it contains properties ideally suited for the hydrogen economy. Ammonia does not require cooling to extreme temperatures, and has a higher energy density than liquid hydrogen, making it more efficient to transport and store. Furthermore, producing ammonia with renewable energy results in zero or minimal greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy transition
An effective future energy source
Yara Clean Ammonia
Building on its long experience and leading position within global ammonia production, logistics and trade, Yara established the Yara Clean Ammonia unit working towards making carbon-free food production to capture growth opportunities in emission-free fuel for shipping and power, carbon-free food production and ammonia for industrial applications.
Yara Clean Ammonia is supported by 17 production units, operates 11 ships and 18 ammonia terminals across the world. Yara Clean Ammonia is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.
HEGRA
With project HEGRA (Herøya Green Ammonia), Yara aims to electrify and decarbonize the ammonia plant in Porsgrunn, Norway. The project will reduce CO2-emissions by 800,000 tonnes annually.
Partnering to enable the hydrogen economy
Yara Clean Ammonia has teamed up with several clean energy companies including ENGIE, Idemitsu Kosan, Jera, Kyushu Electric Power, Trafigura and Ørsted to enable the production of clean ammonia. Click below to learn more about some of our partnerships.
Trafigura
Yara and Trafigura intends to collaborate on the development and promotion of the use of ammonia as a clean fuel in shipping.
