Yara International ASA said it’s brought on two partners for a project that will enable its flagship chemical plant to produce ammonia and hydrogen in the greenest way possible.
Statkraft AS and Aker ASA agreed to join Yara in switching its facility in Porsgrunn, Norway to run on renewable energy and convert its production methods to eliminate the use of natural gas. The companies said doing so could potentially cut 800,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year -- the equivalent of emissions from 300,000 cars.
