Hungarian nitrogen fertilizer producer Nitrogénművek Zrt. restarted production at its Pétfürdő site in February, according to Bloomberg, citing the company’s Chief Strategy Officer Zoltan Bige.
The company said in December that it planned to import ammonia instead of producing it in order to avoid extra taxes on carbon emissions (GM Dec. 1, 2023).
Nitrogénművek produces anhydrous ammonia, CAN, ammonium nitrate, urea, and UAN, and is one of the biggest producers of ammonia and CAN in eastern Europe. The company’s website claims it has a 60% share of the Hungarian fertilizer market.
