7. Yara consumes and produces energy
Depending on site, Yara consume (and produce) energy in the form of:
Natural gas (consumption only)
Fuel oil (consumption only)
Steam
Electricity
Production of AMMONIA key contributor to energy consumption and CO2 emissions
Yara is producing 6 – 9 million tons of ammonia per year in 11 locations with one or more ammonia plants,
36 mmBTU as natural gas feed and fuel is consumed to produce one metric ton of ammonia
Total CO2 emissions are about 5 – 8 million tons/yr (production of merchant liquid carbon dioxide and urea not included)
All Yara plants with one exception produce hydrogen by Steam-Methane Reforming (SMR) followed by Haber-Bosch synthesis of ammonia
Steam / Electricity
Nitric acid by the Ostwald process, is exothermic and generates energy as steam.
Yara also operates steam boilers on various sites, and, exceptionally produce electricity where electricity is scarce or not available (isolated systems)
SMR Primary reformer (Thyssen-Krupp)

8. Zero emissions – Transition to carbon free feed and energy
Production of ammonia by water electrolysis and H-B was “Hydro default” for many years..
Natural gas reforming with CCS might bring CO2 emissions down by +90%, but entirely CO2 free production is achieved only by changing to carbon-free feed and energy
GHG emission free “Post Haber-Bosch” technologies are at low TRL, and with varying energy efficiency potential
Electrolysis is less energy efficient than SMR, but GHG emission free. The practical application of energy intensive technology as electrolysis relies heavily on the availability of low cost renewable power

9. Potential value chain impact of a transition to variable renewable power
Natural gas replacement in hydrogen production
Electrification (e.g. electrical steam boilers)
“GHG free” mineral fertilizer to compete with “brown” products?
Urea phase-out?

Our business model is truly integrated—we create value through scale, flexibility, and presence across the value chain. Our significant production capacity and optimized distributions network help grow knowledge that feeds millions. Yara’s integrated business model delivers scale advantages, extensive flexibility and value chain presence to create a platform for business expansion and margin improvements within both crop nutrition and industrial products. The Industrial segment contributes to stabilizing margins through the commodity cycle, while Yara Crop Nutrition sees the value chain extending beyond the farmer, and sees partnerships with the food industry and responsiveness to consumer trends as increasingly important in the future. The value we create through this integrated business model sustains our global presence and differentiation, and strengthens our competitive edge.
Renewable ammonia as energy carrier (fuel / power-to-power / storage)?
Variable renewable energy intermittency effects in production?

10. The energy transition – when, what and how
In a world where 50% or more of all energy is renewable, what can we expect? What will the drivers be for the various development trends? A non-exhaustive and partly interlinked list of questions..:
Electrification of industry, on what scale and pace? To what extent will electricity replace (hydrocarbon) fuels, and how does that impact the energy market(s)?
Intermittent renewable electricity, what will the intermittency effects mean for an industrial consumer?
Can we expect the same security of supply as today?
Will intermittency compensation measures be on the consumer or supplier side (production/transmission/distribution)?
Price development, and price volatility, will average prices go up or down, and what can we expect in terms of volatility and price variations per day/week/month?
Electricity production, transmission and storage?
What will dominate production? Large and central (e.g. where there is a lot of sun/wind) or decentralized?
Can we expect a broad scale development of electricity transmission capacity, e.g. in Europe/large European countries? Any global trends? Where “copperplate” and where large supply-demand imbalances?
To what extent will short and long term storage of energy be required, what will the scale of storage requirements be?
What will the market mechanisms be when supply comes from both production and stored energy?
