Among various cost areas, ammonia represents a significant focus for the Grupa Azoty Group. This includes production costs, the cost of feedstock and costs associated with its carbon footprint. Consequently, the Group is actively seeking to establish partnerships with major decarbonised ammonia operators in the United States. Ultimately, this move could enhance the Grupa Azoty Group’s position in the EU fertilizer producer market and further bolster the decarbonisation initiatives within the framework of the Group’s Green Strategy. The initial course of action in this field was discussed during the US GULF COAST – CENTRAL EUROPE COOPERATION IN CLEAN HYDROGEN conference organised by the Grupa Azoty Group, held in Warsaw on November 2nd. The event, the first of its kind in Europe, drew the participation of representatives of leading European fertilizer companies and decarbonised ammonia operators from the United States. During the conference, discussions were conducted with the intention of formalising agreements for future collaboration.
