Yara announced on Jan. 13 that it has acquired H+H Umwelt- und Industrietechnik GmbH, a leader in marine selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. Yara said the acquisition strengthens its portfolio of Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions control systems, and continues its development into a global emissions-to-air abatement company.
“The H+H acquisition significantly increases our capacity in the emission-to-air reduction market, fitting well with Yara’s strategic goals as our air pollution abatement solutions are a growing part of our business,” said Yves Bonte, head of Yara’s Industrial segment. “There are clear synergies in bringing together technological know-how with Yara’s expertise and scale in reagent production and supply, enabling Yara to provide customers with a complete portfolio of NOx reduction solutions. This acquisition represents a firm step towards becoming a global provider of environmental solutions, including NOx reduction for diesel vehicles, industrial plants, and now ships.”
Founded in 1998, H+H is based in Hargesheim, Germany. The company designs and provides SCR exhaust gas treatment systems for the reduction of NOx emissions from marine engines and stationary land engines, and has more than 1,200 installed SCR units in activity around the world. “With Yara’s expertise, we can be even better positioned to help customers around the world achieve their environmental targets in a reliable and cost-effective manner,” said Michael Heck, H+H managing partner.
