Yara opens German ammonia terminal to support hydrogen imports

Norwegian fertiliser giant Yara has opened an ammonia terminal in Germany which it says could import 530,000 tonnes of hydrogen into Europe per year.

Announced last year, the new Brunsbüttel terminal will be able to handle up to three million tonnes of ammonia per year, coming as part of the firm’s plans to strengthen its core nitrogen business.

Yara has said the terminal will be an enabler of the German hydrogen economy, putting the company “in pole position to secure low-emission ammonia supply to Germany.”
