Yara opens new ammonia import terminal in Germany

In Germany, Yara International officially opened its new ammonia import terminal in Brunsbüttel, Germany. 

Brunsbüttel is located on the North Sea and Kiel Canal, making it an ideal hub for enabling the hydrogen economy in Germany, the company said. With the new terminal, Yara has the infrastructure to enable imports of up to three million tons of low-emission ammonia to Europe annually.

“As the world’s largest shipper and distributer of ammonia, Yara Clean Ammonia is in a pole position to secure low-emission ammonia supply to Germany, at competitive prices. With its leading global ammonia position, Yara can help kick-start the German hydrogen economy, laying the ground for a net zero future,” said Hans Olav Raen, CEO Yara Clean Ammonia. Up to 3 million tons of low-CO2 ammonia can be imported annually via the terminal in Brunsbüttel. This would correspond to 530,000 tons of hydrogen or around 5% of the total European hydrogen target for 2030.
