The Yara Freeport facility in Texas, lauded for its sustainable ammonia production, has come under scrutiny for sourcing hydrogen from environmentally damaging shale gas. Despite promises of a greener process, an investigation finds that the plant indirectly increases demand for fossil fuels from regions like the Permian Basin. This revelation highlights the discrepancy between Yara's public commitment to reducing emissions and the reality of its operations, raising concerns over the environmental impact of fertilizers produced for European agriculture. Further, Yara's role as Europe's largest industrial gas buyer exacerbates its carbon footprint, challenging its sustainability narrative.
Despite the promises of sustainable ammonia production, a recent investigation reveals the Yara Freeport plant relies on polluting shale gas, undermining its green claims.
Yara's commitment to reducing emissions is undermined as they remain the largest buyer of natural gas in Europe, with practices that intensely drive demand for fracked gas.
