Amsterdam-based OCI Global is supplying low carbon ammonia to COMPO EXPERT, Münster, Germany, for production of its NPK fertilizers, with the first delivery taking place this week.
COMPO EXPERT will initially replace 25% of the ammonia it uses at its facility in Krefeld, Germany, with OCI’s low carbon product this year and has plans to further increase the ratio of OCI-supplied low carbon ammonia in its production over the next two years.
OCI sources the product from its Texas facilities via its ammonia terminal and distribution hub at the Port of Rotterdam. It guarantees a 60% lower carbon footprint than the industry standard. OCI has supplied COMPO EXPERT with ammonia for fertilizer production for more than a decade.
“We are significantly increasing our production of lower carbon ammonia, including at our Texas Blue Clean Ammonia facility currently under construction, which has capacity for an additional 1.1 million mt/y, and via our terminal in Rotterdam we will support the European decarbonization of existing industries and future energy and bunkering customers,” said Aviv Bar Tal, OCI Global Vice President, Nitrogen.
