Genesis & Stamicarbon to build low-carbon fertiliser plant in Canada

Genesis Fertilizers has signed Process Design Package (PDP) and License agreements with Stamicarbon, the nitrogen technology licensor of NEXTCHEM (MAIRE Group), to advance its proposed low-carbon nitrogen fertilizer facility in Belle Plaine, Saskatchewan. This partnership aims to integrate Stamicarbon's proprietary NX STAMI Urea technology and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) production systems, setting a new benchmark for sustainable agriculture in Western Canada.

The facility is designed to produce 2,500 metric tons per day (MTPD) of urea melt using Stamicarbon's Adiabatic Flash technology, which aims to enhance operational efficiency and reliability while minimizing process steam consumption. In addition, the facility proposes to include a DEF production plant with a capacity of 1,500 MTPD, enabling direct production of ISO 22241-compliant DEF, a solution essential for reducing NOx emissions from diesel engines.

"This partnership reflects our commitment to bringing world-class technologies that support sustainable fertilizer production," said Jason Mann, CEO of Genesis Fertilizers. "Stamicarbon's proven expertise in urea and DEF production strengthens our ability to deliver low-carbon solutions tailored to the needs of Western Canadian farmers."

Stamicarbon's NX STAMI Urea technology incorporates advanced reactor designs and energy-saving features, ensuring high production efficiency and reduced environmental impact. The inclusion of DEF production highlights Genesis Fertilizers' forward-thinking approach to addressing both agricultural and environmental challenges.

"Our proprietary NX STAMI Urea and DEF technologies are designed to meet the unique needs of Genesis Fertilizers' transformative project," said Pejman Djavdan, CEO of Stamicarbon. "We are proud to support a project that embodies innovation, sustainability, and collaboration."

This collaboration builds on Genesis Fertilizers' recent announcement that is has entered into agreements for the Front-End Engineering Design work phase of the project and further demonstrates its dedication to supporting Western Canadian farmers with stable, locally sourced fertilizers. Genesis Fertilizers remains on track for future development phases, with commercial operations targeted to commence by 2029. Updates on progress, partnerships, and milestones will continue to be shared, underscoring the company's commitment to transparency and farmer engagement.
