Linde Engineering has signed a contract with global fertiliser manufacturer Yara to build a carbon dioxide (CO2) liquefaction plant in Sluiskil, the Netherlands.
The Sluiskil project forms a key part of Yara’s clean ammonia initiative, in which each year 800,000 tonnes of CO2 will be captured, liquefied, loaded onto special ships, and then subsequently locked away permanently below the seabed off the coast of western Norway.
The CO2 liquefaction plant will be built on-site next to Yara’s existing ammonia plant. After start-up in 2026, it will be a part of one of the first commercial carbon-capture storage (CCS) ventures in Europe.
Recovering CO2 and injecting it into deep geological storage repositories is an important measure to reduce global warming caused by fertiliser production, which is inherently hard to abate.
