The region’s producer of choice.
As a nitrogen fertilizer producer and distributor, Fertiglobe is committed to responsibly enabling sustainable agriculture.
Our commitment lies in developing products and initiatives that deliver low-carbon and sustainable solutions to our customers. We aim to amplify the percentage of sustainable products in our portfolio, striving towards a more environmentally conscious and responsible offering.
Granular Urea
Granular urea is a white, crystalline, solid fertilizer with a nitrogen content of approximately 46%. Produced at high pressure and temperature from the reaction of ammonia and carbon dioxide, Urea has the highest nitrogen content of any solid nitrogen fertilizer.
Ammonia
Ammonia, which has the highest energy density compound among non-hydrocarbon products, is a colourless gas produced under high temperature and pressure from the combination of nitrogen (82%) and hydrogen. It is a key building block for industrial chemicals and nitrogen fertilizers, and it can be applied directly as a fertilizer.
Renewable Ammonia
Renewable ammonia, which Fertiglobe is on track to becoming one of a few producers of using hydrogen from electrolysis of renewable electricity at its Egyptian facilities.
Low Carbon Ammonia
Low-carbon ammonia, which Fertiglobe has produced and shipped several test cargoes of from its UAE ammonia plant using low-carbon hydrogen produced from natural gas with carbon capture.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
DEF, which is also known as AdBlue in Europe, is a non-hazardous aqueous urea solution consisting of approximately 67.5% deionized water and approximately 32.5% urea.
Our global footprint .
Fertiglobe plays a crucial role in global food security, serving customers worldwide.
The company’s global distribution network extends across Europe, Australia, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, facilitated by branches, agents, and strategic partnerships.

Low-Carbon and Renewable Ammonia Growth Initiatives.
- Pilot capturing 18 ktpa of CO2 from Fertiglobe’s Fertil-2 is UAE’s first CCS facility to produce 10–12 ktpa of low-carbon ammonia, with focus on exporting to Asia and Europe
- CO2 sequestration started in Q4 2023, and low-carbon ammonia sales in partnership with ADNOC
- Fertiglobe is also piloting carbon capture from flue gases, with initial capture achieved in 2024
Low-Carbon and Renewable Ammonia Growth Initiatives.
- World-scale ammonia facility in the UAE, in partnership with TA’ZIZ (majority owned by ADNOC and ADQ), GS Energy Corporation, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd
- Located in TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone, adjacent to Ruwais Industrial Complex, which will supply attractive hydrogen and nitrogen feedstocks
- Capacity of up to 1,000 ktpa ammonia, with transition of plant to low carbon production by 2030
COP28
Highlights.
In an ongoing commitment to our sustainability philosophy, we contributed to the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference at COP28, held in Dubai.
As a pioneer in the field of renewable and low carbon ammonia, our presence at COP28 was the perfect opportunity for us to communicate our strategic developments, initiatives and foster the dialogue on energy transition.
Fertiglobe’s leaders engaged in discussions on the role of low-carbon ammonia in industrial processes and its potential as a sustainable fuel on a global scale. We also had the opportunity to share Fertiglobe’s decarbonization efforts and milestones as a certified global renewable ammonia producer, as well as their impact on our value chain, and the role of regulations and incentives in scaling the supply of low-carbon and renewable products to accelerate the energy transition.
