Yara signs climate gas cooperation with Johnson Matthey
The technology to cut emissions of the climate gas nitrous oxide from existing nitric acid plants was developed at Yara's Research Centre in Porsgrunn, Norway. Extensive research since early 1990's resulted in a unique secondary high temperature catalyst with high abatement efficiency. The technology makes it possible to reduce emission levels in nitric acid plants by 70% to more than 90%. The catalyst has been installed in Yara's own nitric acid plants in France with proven emissions reduction capability and longevity of operation, and will be installed in Yara's nitric acid plants worldwide as part of the company's continuous drive for clean and safe operations.
Johnson Matthey Plc, Noble Metals will market the catalyst globally to Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) countries as established and defined by the Kyoto Protocol.
