Agriculture

Advancing towards net zero in the agriculture industry has placed a strong drive towards more sustainable agricultural practices. This includes the use of low-carbon fertilizers, shifting towards more energy efficient processes and moving to second and third generation biofuels.

The agriculture industry has become a major source of feedstock for emerging bio-based chemicals and biofuels that support sustainability efforts. Common chemicals in the agricultural value chain, including methanol and ammonia, are increasingly produced with low-carbon technologies to produce low-carbon fertilisers.

Our Focus Areas

LCI Ammonia

Ammonia produced with a lower carbon footprint than conventional methods. Ammonia is the base of common nitrogen-based fertilisers used in agriculture.

explore our focus area

LCI Methanol

Methanol produced with a lower carbon footprint than conventional methods. Methanol can be applied directly to crop yields and is a major feedstock for ammonia production

explore our focus area

Biopolymers

Biopolymers offer a sustainable alternative compared to traditional polymers produced via fossil fuels. Biopolymers are commonly derived from agricultural waste such as crop and organic residues

explore our focus area

Biofuels

Biofuels offer a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Biofuels are commonly derived from agricultural plant waste.

explore our focus area

LCI Ammonia

Production of ammonia that emits less carbon than conventional routes, which is then used as fertilizer in the cultivation of food crops.

LCI Methanol

Production of methanol that emits less carbon than conventional routes, which is then used in the production of fertilizers in the agriculture industry.
