SABIC Agri-Nutrients is the first company to introduce Low Carbon Ammonia to the Indian fertiliser sector

Saudi Arabia’s SABIC Agri-Nutrients Company (SABIC AN), has sent 5,000 metric tons of the first commercial shipment of low carbon Ammonia to Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO).

The shipment dispatched from Jubail, Saudi Arabia, makes SABIC Agri-Nutrients the first company to introduce Low Carbon Ammonia to the Indian fertiliser sector. IFFCO, which will receive the shipment, becomes the first Indian company to use low-carbon Ammonia for fertiliser production in line with India’s vision to be net zero by 2070.

“SABIC Agri-Nutrients made a public commitment not only to become carbon neutral by 2050 but also to collaborate with customers in helping them achieve their net-zero emission targets. With low-carbon ammonia, customers in India can move toward realising their carbon-neutrality commitments. SABIC’s shipment to India is a significant milestone and an example of our commitment to developing low-carbon solutions for the world,” said Abdulrahman Shamsaddin, CEO, of SABIC AN.

In 2020, SABIC joined Aramco and the Institute of Energy Economics, Japan (IEEJ) to ship low-carbon Ammonia to Japan.

In 2022, SABIC AN and Aramco obtained the world’s first independent certification of Low-Carbon ammonia and clean hydrogen production from TÜV Rheinland, a leading independent testing, inspection and certification agency based in Germany.

In addition, SABIC AN and Aramco sent the world’s first commercial shipment of 25 thousand metric tons of independently certified Low Carbon Ammonia to South Korea last December.

IFFCO has commissioned three urea plants in a single year

Amit Shah, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation launched IFFCO Nano DAP (Liquid) in New Delhi. Several dignitaries including the Secretary of, the Ministry of Cooperation, Gyanesh Kumar, and the Chairman, of IFFCO, Dilip Sanghani were present on the occasion.

In his address, Amit Shah said that the launch of the IFFCO Nano DAP (Liquid) product is an important beginning to making India self-reliant in the field of fertilisers. He said that this effort of IFFCO is an inspiration for all the national cooperatives to research and venture into new areas. The launch of the IFFCO Nano DAP (Liquid) product will bring a paradigm shift in the agriculture sector of India, it will make farmers prosperous and India self-reliant in the field of production and fertiliser. Shah said that the use of liquid DAP, through spraying on the plant, will help increase both the quality and quantity of production as well as the conservation of the land. This will contribute a lot to restoring the fertility of the land and will reduce the threat to the health of crores of Indians caused by chemical fertilisers.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Minister Amit Shah appealed to farmers to use more effective liquid Nano Urea and DAP instead of granular urea and DAP. He said that the use of granular urea damages the land as well as the crop and the health of the people. He said that farmers have the maximum capacity to accept any new changes.  The effect of one bottle of 500 ml on the crop is equivalent to that of a 45 kg bag of granular urea.

Amit Shah said that 384 lakh metric tonnes of fertiliser are produced in the country, out of which cooperative societies produced 132 lakh metric tonnes. Out of this 132 Lakh metric tonnes of fertiliser, IFFCO has produced 90 Lakh metric tonnes. He said that cooperative societies like IFFCO and KRIBHCO have a huge contribution to India’s self-reliance in the fields of fertiliser, milk production and marketing. Shah said that instead of mass production, the main mantra of cooperation is mass production by the masses. It was believed that this mantra could not be successful after the decade of 1970-80, but, many cooperative societies like IFFCO and KRIBHCO have followed this mantra. Along with their professionalism in every field of cooperation, research, capacity and capability, they have kept the spirit of co-operative alive and have implemented it on the ground. He said that the biggest example and success story of a cooperative is that if today IFFCO earns Rupee 1, after the deduction of income tax, 80 paise goes directly to the farmers.

In this series, the cooperative society IFFCO has commissioned three urea plants in a single year.

Government’s Expert Committee has given approval to Nano DAP, and it will also come to replace DAP shortly.

Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilisers, Mansukh Mandaviya inaugurated the IFFCO Nano Urea Liquid Plants at Aonla and Phulpur in Uttar Pradesh.

Addressing the event, Mandaviya stated that it is an important day because Nano urea plants have been dedicated to the nation. He said that Nano Urea, in the coming times will ensure the progress of the farmers, increase their income. In this way it will change the future of our farmer.

Union Minister highlighted the benefits of Nano urea stating that it is the best green technology and provides solution of pollution. It saves the soil and also increases the production and hence is the best for the farmers. He further said that Government’s Expert Committee has given approval to Nano DAP, and it will also come to replace DAP shortly. He added that Nano-DAP will immensely benefit our farmers and it will be available at half the cost of DAP.

Mandaviya also underlined the efforts of the government in making Nano urea available to the farmers. He also pointed out the challenges in bringing Nano urea ranging from getting approvals from various departments, convincing the farmers to tackling conventional urea lobby.

Mandaviya also said that it is an alternate fertiliser. We for the years, used urea and DAP to increase the productivity. When we use urea, only 35 percent Nitrogen (Urea) gets used by the crop and the unused affects soil. Today, the productivity of the soil is declining and crop production is saturated, it was essential to go to alternate fertilisers.

Union Minister congratulated IFFCO for its endeavours. He said that Commerce, business and profit are not foremost for Sahakarita but farmers’ welfare is.

Dileep Sanghani, Chairman IFFCO, Balvir Singh, Vice Chairman IFFCO, Uday Shankar Awasthi MD and CEO of IFFCO, Keshari Devi MP Phulpur were among those present during the inauguration events.
