Grupa Azoty ships fertilizer to South America

Grupa Azoty Police has successfully loaded a 36,640 tonne fertilizer consignment at its seaport for transport to South America. The historic shipment marks the first of its kind, in terms of its scale and the history of the company’s Police production plant, Grupa Azoty said.

“The loading operation was carried out using the Group’s port infrastructure and maritime logistics capabilities. This milestone confirms Grupa Azoty’s ability to execute large-scale logistics operations at a top-tier level, opening new opportunities for exporting Polish chemical products to global markets,” the company said in a statement.

Grupa Azoty says its sales efforts – combined with an expanded product portfolio – have already delivered tangible results in the first quarter of 2025. Total sales volumes for the period rose by 18% year-on-year, including a 22% increase in nitrogen fertilizer sales.

While ensuring a stable supply of fertilizers for Polish farmers remains its top priority, the company is simultaneously looking to improve its export performance currently.

CIMC Enric commissions biomethanol project

CIMC Enric Holdings Ltd says that it has commissioned China’s first large-scale biomethanol facility in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, marking a major step forward in the decarbonisation of global shipping and clean fuel supply chains. The project, developed by CIMC Enric and its subsidiaries, is designed as a fully integrated closed-loop system converting forestry residues into green methanol for use as marine fuel. With an initial annual capacity of 50,000 t/a, it is the country’s first commercial scale green methanol plant, and is backed by the port of Zhanjiang and abundant local forestry wastes.

World’s largest integrated green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project

The first 320 MW phase of what China Energy Engineering Corporation Ltd says will ultimately become the world’s largest integrated green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol project HyFlow has officially begun operation in Songyuan City in Jilin Province. With a total investment of nearly $4.30 billion, the Songyuan project uses a “wind-solarhydrogen-ammonia-methanol” integration model, creating an industrial chain that includes hydrogen production and storage, as well as hydrogen-derived chemicals such as ammonia and methanol, hydrogen energy equipment, and scientific research. The project eventually plans to develop 3 GW of renewable energy capacity from wind and solar power, alongside a target production capacity of 800,000 t/a of green ammonia and methanol. The annual production of green hydrogen in the project’s first phase is expected to be equivalent to approximately one-fifth of China’s current total annual green hydrogen production.
