“We are pleased to announce this LOI with Yara, and we look forward to joining forces to explore potential carbon capture for the

planned expansion project at the Yara CN plant at Herøya. We are impressed and inspired by Yara´s ambitions and systematic measures to reduce climate emissions”, says CEO at Ocean GeoLoop, Odd-Geir Lademo.

Ocean GeoLoop has entered into an LOI with Yara Norge AS for carbon capture related to their expansion of the Calcium Nitrate plant at Herøya. This project will target hard to abate process emissions from the Calcium Nitrate production.

A comprehensive test program will be carried out in cooperation with SINTEF Industry in the months to come. The LOI with Yara Norge AS is an important step towards the commercialization of this technology.

“Yara's mission is to feed the world and protect the planet. To succeed in this mission, we need to look at our entire value chain and do our utmost to reduce emissions. Ocean GeoLoop has an exciting, circular, approach that can really help us in building a nature-positive future.“ says Ole-Jacob Siljan, Plant Manager Yara Norge AS at Herøya.
