Yara International

Last month, we proudly inaugurated our renewable #hydrogen plant at Herøya Industripark AS in Porsgrunn, Norway! This marks a major milestone for Yara Clean Ammonia and Yara International in decarbonizing the food value chain, shipping fuel, and other energy-intensive industries. Our 24 MW plant, the largest of its kind in operation in Europe, uses renewable energy to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis, cutting 41,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. 🌿💧 Collaboration is key to the green transition, requiring significant investments, advanced technology, and robust renewable energy infrastructure. 💡 At Yara Porsgrunn, we’ve cut emissions by 67% since 2005 and we are committed to delivering decarbonized solutions at scale for a sustainable future. 🤝 Interested to know what renewable ammonia looks like?

At Yara, we're committed to increasing visibility and support for our LGBTQIA+ colleagues, and that's why we celebrate Pride Month. 🏳️🌈 Throughout June, we proudly held workshops, participated in celebratory events, and created arenas for insightful knowledge exchange sessions.

To do so, we are creating precise targets to foster a safe environment for all our employees and stakeholders... and Yara's Pride Employee Resource Group is a shining example of this! 🎯 Thanks for your commitment to creating a safe and inclusive space for all, Yara colleagues! 🌈 #PrideMonth #KnowledgeGrows

Jeg har skrevet i NRK Ytring om behovet for forutsigbarhet møte med uforutsigbarhet. De politiske partiene i Norge er nå i gang med å utarbeide politikken landet skal styres etter frem mot 2030 i det de utvikler nye partiprogram. Disse programmene er kontrakten med velgerne og derfor prosesser vi alle bør engasjere oss I fordi de berører de samfunnsspørsmålene vi er opptatt av. Vi er inne i en tid som trolig blir mer krevende enn på lenge, fordi vi blir stadig flere eldre og færre i arbeid, vi får flere oppgaver å løse, men samfunnet har ikke nok arbeidskraft til å løse dem. Når aktiviteten på sokkelen avtar trenger vi flere bein å stå på. Klimamålene vi skal nå i 2030, er ikke langt unna. I møte med disse utfordringene trenger Norge et sterkt næringsliv og næringslivet trenger forutsigbarhet, stabilitet og moderasjon. I en verden som preges av større splittelse og polarisering, både mellom land og innad i land, er politisk stabilitet en av de viktigste verdiene vi har. Usikkerhet i andre land gjør det til en styrke med samling og forutsigbarhet i Norge. Derfor håper jeg at uansett farge på vår neste regjering, at norske politikere søker å finne frem til bredere forlik i de store og viktige sakene, enn hva vi har hatt de siste stortingsperiodene. Brede politiske forlik har alltid vært avgjørende for fremgang og utvikling, enten det har handlet om politikk for energi, skatt eller klima. Vi har behov for politikere som står sammen når det trengs. Trykk på artikkelen nedenfor om du vil lese hele kronikken.

At Yara we believe two critical strategies - adopting effective irrigation systems and optimizing crop nutrient management - can boost agricultural productivity while improving water use efficiency. 💧 Learn why the concept of water use efficiency is important in crop production and has become a focus of Yara! 💡 Read the full story 👇

Coming together to celebrate #Pride2024! 🌈   Today, our colleagues in Brussels had the opportunity to learn more about queer history and the importance of allyship through an interactive seminar and insightful discussions with Saquib Ahmad from the Fighting Fear Community. In Yara, we are striving to be more #inclusive and showing our commitment by recognizing & supporting our colleagues from the LGBTQIA+ community. We strongly believe that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (#DEI) initiatives and activities not only raise awareness about LGBTQIA+ issues, but also empower all employees to become allies and creating a safer, more #inclusive workplace. At Yara, our greatest strength is our people. That's why DEI are woven into the very fabric of our organization. Fostering a diverse and inclusive environment isn't just good for our company, but it's essential for building a brighter future for everyone. 🌟 This is the spirit that drives our work all year round! 👉 https://lnkd.in/g2tQvFuY

Last month we celebrated the official opening of our 24 MW renewable hydrogen plant at Herøya, Norway! 👏 🎉 We're now producing renewable hydrogen and ammonia and have already delivered the first tonnes of fertilizers made from renewable ammonia produced at the plant! ♻️ Once fully operational, the plant will produce around 20,000 tonnes of renewable ammonia annually, cutting 41,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from the site. As the largest facility of its kind in Europe, Yara’s renewable hydrogen plant plays a crucial role in enhancing production whilst cutting emissions. 🤝 While Yara is uniquely positioned to deliver decarbonized solutions quickly and at scale, the green transition requires collaborative efforts. This includes investments, predictable framework conditions, massive build-out of renewable energy and grid, continuously advancing technology, and a maturing market where demand and supply are developed simultaneously. Curious about the process? Watch the video for a detailed look at how renewable ammonia is made! 👇
