Yara has signed a contract with Linde Engineering for the construction and delivery of a green hydrogen demonstration plant at Yara’s ammonia production facility at Herøya Industripark in Porsgrunn, Norway. The project is supported by Enova with a grant of NOK283 million (US$31.87 million ).

The hydrogen plant will utilize water electrolysis which will produce green hydrogen to partially replace the hydrocarbon-based hydrogen production in Yara’s plant, using proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology. The project is expected to have an annual capacity of around 10,000 kg/day of hydrogen and replace ethane as raw material in production, thereby reducing 41,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

The electricity will be delivered from renewable energy sources and will provide enough hydrogen to produce 20,500 tonnes of ammonia per year which can be converted to between 60,000 and 80,000 tonnes of green fertilizer.
