FertigHy
Decarbonising the food value chain
Early stage
FertigHy plans to build and operate several large-scale low-carbon fertiliser projects around Europe, after building, owning and operating a first plant in Spain. With construction planned to start in 2025, this flagship plant will produce more than one million metric tonnes per year of low-carbon nitrogen-based fertilisers from 100 percent renewable electricity and green hydrogen. The objective is to reduce emissions by up to two million tonnes of CO2 per plant per year.
The need
There is a requirement to rebuild resilience against disrupted fertiliser supply chains, while also promoting sovereignty for the agriculture industry and security of supply. This can be achieved by accelerating the decarbonisation of the food value chain.

The value proposition
- Affordable low-carbon fertiliser produced with 100% renewable energy.
- Produced in Europe using green hydrogen so no dependency on natural gas or imports.
- Strong consortium of shareholders covering the complete value chain: EIT InnoEnergy, RIC Energy, Siemens Financial Services, MAIRE, InVivo and Heineken.
- Supported by the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center (EGHAC).
