Yara International ASA has announced a UK£7 million (approximately $8.9 million at current exchange rates) phased investment in its liquid fertilizer terminal at Chedburgh, near Bury St Edmunds in East Anglia, eastern England. The project will see a post-season rebuild of the Chedburgh terminal, which produces nitrogen sulfur grade and compound NPK grade fertilizers, Yara UK reported on March 15.
The bulk solids raw materials store and the production building will be upgraded, with the goal of being fully operational by spring 2025, the company said. It added that reducing the terminal’s carbon footprint will be at the forefront of all its decisions, from installing new boilers to adapting new processes.
Yara offers over 300 grades of liquid fertilizer in mainland UK and delivers them directly to farming customers from its terminals. The Chedburgh terminal upgrade is part of Yara’s investment program in mainland UK aimed at ensuring safe and efficient operations to deliver high-quality products to its farmer customers, it said.
