Food security, climate change, and energy transition are the most urgent issues for SABIC Agri-Nutrients over the next several decades. Usage of traditional nitrogenous and phosphate-based fertilizers, such as urea, monoammonium phosphate (MAP), and diammonium phosphate (DAP), will continue to increase in order to feed a growing global population. Regulatory changes from governments are discouraging the supply of traditional carbon-intensive fertilizers and encouraging investment in low-carbon alternatives. Climatic, dietary, and regulatory changes are driving a steeper demand for differentiated and more sustainable fertilizers in the future.
Continuous improvement of asset reliability coupled with high resource-efficiency have enabled the company to maintain cost-efficiency while meeting production targets. SABIC Agri-Nutrients’ global go-to-market strategy and new downstream integrations, through acquisition and expansion, have resulted in high sales volumes despite a down-turn in prices.
Strong research and innovation capabilities enable SABIC Agri-Nutrients to develop and produce differentiated, value-added, and low-carbon products that support the evolving needs of end-users and the global drive for decarbonization. SABIC Agri-Nutrients, together with Saudi Aramco, continues to pioneer the low-carbon fertilizer business, developing new products and achieving global-firsts in shipments of low carbon, clean ammonia, and low-carbon urea.
COLLABORATIONS
- Partnerships and collaborations, such as with BiOWiSH, are enabling SABIC Agri-Nutrients to bring differentiated bio-enhanced fertilizer products to the market after achieving successful regulatory approvals in multiple countries. The first bulk shipment of SABIC bio-enhanced urea is expected to arrive in the US in early 2024.
- SABIC Agri-Nutrients also signed an exclusive agreement to pursue ammonia production using Atmonia’s technology in the Middle East. Atmonia ehf is an Icelandic company developing sustainable production process for ammonia in a single-step process, using only water, nitrogen from air, and clean electricity.
