Industries
Fertilizer
The fertilizer industry is undergoing a transformative shift globally towards green & low carbon solutions. At the heart of this transition is green ammonia — a clean, renewable alternative to traditional ammonia and a vital component in nitrogen-based fertilizers.
The industry also faces growing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional ammonia production via steam methane reforming (SMR) of natural gas contributes nearly 2% of global CO₂ emissions. The shift to green ammonia from green hydrogen offers a critical pathway to decarbonize the fertilizer industry.
- Many countries are pushing for green hydrogen and ammonia adoption in agriculture and fertilizer sectors.
- Nuberg is positioning itself as a turnkey solution provider for this green transition.
- We leverage our strong chemical plant EPC background to gain leadership in this evolving space.
Fertilizer Industry Solutions
Nuberg Green Energy is pioneering in this space by offering cutting edge technology & turnkey solutions to help the fertilizer manufactures embrace the future of green production.
Green Hydrogen Production Plants
Green Hydrogen is produced by electrolyzing water using renewable sources avoiding carbon emissions. Nuberg offers EPC solutions:
- Electrolyzer based hydrogen plants
- Integrated solar/wind based electrolyzer systems
- Hydrogen handling & storage systems
Use in Fertilizers: Hydrogen is a critical feedstock for green ammonia, which is used in urea and ammonium nitrate fertilizers.
Green Ammonia Plants
Green Ammonia is made by combining Green Hydrogen (from electrolysis) & nitrogen (extracted from air). Nuberg has capabilities to contribute in design/engineering, procurement & construction of green ammonia plants & provides integration solutions in GNH₃ facilities.
Benefits to fertilizer producers:
- Decarbonizes existing fertilizer production lines
- Helps to meet environmental, social, governance goals & sustainability
Hybrid and Retrofit Solutions
- Retrofit existing ammonia plants to switch to green hydrogen from natural gas
- For a transitional approach, combining grey/blue hydrogen with green hydrogen
- Blending green ammonia into conventional supply by developing hybrid fertilizer systems
It makes it easier for traditional fertilizer companies to transition without full overhauls.
Impact on Fertilizer Industry
- Meet net-zero emission targets
- Reduce dependency on fossil fuels
- Support in obtaining government/green subsidies - National Green Hydrogen Mission (India)
