NEXTCHEM awarded study/pre-FEED contract for a 500,000-tpy low-carbon fertilizer plant in France
- NEXTCHEM will leverage on its NX Stami Green AmmoniaTM and NX Stami Nitric AcidTM technologies to design the process
- FertigHy is a consortium composed of European industrial players aimed at tackling the challenges of the global food security with low-carbon fertilizers solutions
- The first plant to be built in France will produce 500,000 tpy of nitrogen-based fertilizers
MAIRE announces that NEXTCHEM (Sustainable Technology Solutions)has been awarded by FertigHy a feasibility study and pre-FEED (front-end engineering design) contract leveraging on its NX Stami Green Ammonia and NX Stami Nitric Acid technologies, while integrating its hydrogen and electrolyzer know-how in a consolidated technical solution.
The FertigHy consortium, established in 2023, is composed of a cross-value chain combination of shareholders, including EIT Energy, RIC Energy, MAIRE, Siemens Financial Services, InVivo and Heineken. FertigHy is an example of European industrial players making the decision to invest in Europe for the continuous decarbonization of the economy.
The first plant, which is scheduled to start construction in 2027, will produce 500,000 tpy of low-carbon nitrogen-based fertilizers, from hydrogen obtained by renewable and low carbon electricity. The consortium aims to replicate this integrated concept in other European countries to potentially reduce single plant emissions by up to one million tons of CO2 per year.
