Northern Nutrients restructuring and expansion

Northern Nutrients, a manufacturer of enhanced nitrogen sulphur fertilizers, has announced a new ownership structure following an investment by Shell Trading Canada. Shell Trading Canada has invested in expanding Northern Nutrients’ current facility, resulting in the formation of a new joint venture. The expansion will result in a tripling of the current capacity of 50,000 t/a to 150,000 t/a of sulphur-based fertilizers. The company’s facility near Saskatoon produces enhanced nitrogen sulphur fertilizers using Shell Thiogro technology. Their flagship product, Arctic S, is 11% nitrogen and 75% micronised elemental sulphur. Northern Nutrients says that its collaboration with Shell underscores their shared dedication to providing retailers and farmers with high-quality and efficient fertilizers and meet the growing demand for innovative fertilizer products.

“Since local production of Arctic S began in 2022, the market response across North America has exceeded our expectations, making now the perfect time to expand our production capacity, and Shell is the perfect partner to do it with,” said Ross Guenther, CEO & co-owner of Northern Nutrients.

Government moving forward with coal-based urea plant

The government of Pakistan has published a ‘strategic roadmap’ for the country’s major Coal-to-Fertiliser (C2F) initiative. The project is being executed by the publicly-owned Fauji Fertiliser Company (FFC), and will use local coal reserves at Thar as feedstock for the ammonia plant, which will in turn feed 720,000 t/a of urea capacity. The $1.1 billion project aims to strengthen the country’s fertiliser security as well as add value to local resources. A bankable feasibility study was completed in November 2025, and the project is now in the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) and project agreements phase. Under the proposed timeline, financial closure is expected between late 2026 and 2027, while commercial operations are targeted to commence in January 2031.
