2 Yara A major global Fertilizer Company Yara is a Norwegian, major global Fertilizer Company Yara has a history back to 1905 when the company Norsk Hydro was established, based on the invention to bind nitrogen from air by the electric arc. Norsk Hydro developed in businesses as Agriculture, Petrochemical, Energy, Light metals and Oil& gas In 2005 the Fertilizer division in Norsk Hydro was listed as a separate company Yara Yara has production plants at all continents. Yara Porsgrunn is one of the major productions plants in Yara Yara Porsgrunn is one of 3 Norwegian plants developing projects to capture CO2 from it s processes as part of a full chain CCS project initiated and managed by the Norwegian Government 2

3 Yara in numbers Close to 15,000 employees Sales to about 160 countries Revenue NOK 95.2 Billion (USD 11.4 Billion) In 2016

4 Our global presence is growing The number of people we employ +160 The number of countries we sell to +60 The number of countries we operate in 300 million people our products help to feed 50 million citizens our products deliver fresh air for 240 million tons of grains our products help produce 15 million The number of farmers we work with

8 Yara Porsgrunn - CO2 Sources The Sources for CO2 capture are identified at the ammonia plant 2 sources CO2 from the process gas synthesis gas - ( tons/year) CO2 from the flue gas ( tons/ year) All ammonia plants have CO2 removal units for the process gas The captured CO2 are often : Used as feed-stock for Urea or melamine production Used as food-grade CO2 Released to the atmosphere At the Yara Porsgrunn plant there is a water-wash CO2 removal process. This is a very particular process with limitations in respect of «access» to the captured CO2 Today tons/ year is liquefied and utilized as a food grade product There is no capture plant for CO2 from the flue gas. 9

10 Yara CCS Project Evaluated concepts EVALUATED CONCEPTS Flue Gas Several concepts for CO2 capture by amine technology Chilled Ammonia Process (CAP) Process gas Replace existing water-wash CO2 removal by a new a MDEA process Vacuum stripping 11

11 Yara CCS Project Conclusion CONCLUSION Yara has completed a Concept Selection study concluding that CO2 capture is feasible and we have concluded cost estimates for the concepts that has been studied. Yara has concluded to continue to develop the following concepts: Flue gas CAP process Process gas Replace the water-wash process by an amdea process 12

12 Why do Yara participate in the CCS project? Yara want to support the development of sustainable and environmental friendly farming and has over years been dedicated to reduce emission from production and to develop products with reduced carbon footprints. CO2 capture can be an important part of the solution to reduce CO emission from the industry Through the CCS project Yara can contribute to develop a full-chain CCS project As part of an international industry in a global market Yara recognize that incentives to support construction and operation of capture plants will be crucial 13
