Hy2gen AG has contracted Plug Power to supply a 275 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser system for Project COURANT, its renewable ammonium nitrate development in Québec, Canada, marking a significant milestone in the project’s Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) phase ahead of a planned Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2027. Project COURANT is designed […]
Production of technical monoammonium phosphate (tMAP) has begun at the Industrial ChemPark Prahovo site in Serbia.
Metso has signed a major agreement with Southern Peru Copper Corporation, one of the largest copper producers in the world, for the supply of copper solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW) technology to the company’s Tia Maria project in Cocachacra, Peru. The new plant will produce 120,000 tons of high-purity copper cathodes per year. Metso’s scope […]
Cover story! CASALE's Gabriele Marcon outlines how integrated fertilizer production can support global food security.
Asahi Kasei Corp says that it has begun operations at a demonstration plant using green ammonia production technology in January 2026, using hydrogen manufactured by Asahi Kasei. The plant, built by JGC, and using KBR’s K-GreeN® ammonia production technology, is part of Japan’s NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation) Green Innovation Fund project. The hydrogen feedstock comes from a 10MW alkaline water electrolysis system at the adjacent Fukushima Hydrogen Energy Research facility, which Asahi Kasei has operated since 2020. Leading the design and construction of the ammonia plant, JGC will conduct the demonstration operation during the fiscal year 2026 to advance process optimisation and commercialisation studies.

Fertilizer Latino Americano (FLA) conference report.
The switch towards battery technologies like lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is leading to major growth in demand for sulphur and sulphuric acid.
Nel ASA says that it has entered into an agreement with GreenH to be the technology provider for the Enova-supported projects in Kristiansund and Slagentangen. GreenH develops, builds, owns, and operates hydrogen production facilities based on renewable energy. The company aims to establish a network of distributed hydrogen production sites to enable decarbonisation in the maritime, transport, and industrial sectors. GreenH focuses on scalable solutions located close to end users, reducing logistics costs and supporting the development of efficient, regional hydrogen value chains. The facilities in Kristiansund and Slagentangen are intended to supply green hydrogen to industrial and maritime users and form part of GreenH’s broader efforts to establish a network of distributed hydrogen production in Norway.
