Genesis Fertilizers signed Process Design Package (PDP) and license agreements with Stamicarbon, a nitrogen technology licensor under NEXTCHEM (MAIRE Group).
The partnership will advance the development of Genesis Fertilizers’ low-carbon nitrogen fertilizer facility in Belle Plaine, Saskatchewan, setting a new standard for sustainable agriculture in Western Canada.
Technological Integration for Operational Efficiency
The proposed facility is set to produce 2,500 metric tons per day (MTPD) of urea melt, utilizing Stamicarbon’s advanced NX STAMI Urea™ technology.
The state-of-the-art technology, combined with adiabatic flash technology, aims to enhance operational efficiency and reliability, while significantly reducing process steam consumption.
Additionally, the facility will include a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) production plant capable of producing 1,500 MTPD of ISO 22241-compliant DEF.
The solution plays a critical role in reducing NOx emissions from diesel engines.
Commitment to Sustainable Fertilizer Production
Jason Mann, CEO, Genesis Fertilizers stated, “This partnership reflects our commitment to bringing world-class technologies that support sustainable fertilizer production.”
He added that Stamicarbon’s proven expertise in urea and DEF production strengthens their ability. This enables them to offer low-carbon solutions that meet the needs of Western Canadian farmers.
Innovative and Energy-Efficient Technology
Stamicarbon’s NX STAMI Urea™ technology integrates advanced reactor designs and energy-saving features, ensuring high production efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
The addition of a DEF production plant reflects Genesis Fertilizers’ forward-thinking approach to addressing both agricultural and environmental challenges.
Pejman Djavdan, CEO of Stamicarbon, commented, “Our proprietary NX STAMI Urea™ and DEF technologies are designed to meet the unique needs. These technologies support Genesis Fertilizers’ transformative project.”
He emphasized the pride Stamicarbon takes in supporting a project that embodies innovation, sustainability, and collaboration.
Continued Progress Toward Commercial Operations
The partnership builds on Genesis Fertilizers’ recent agreements for the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase of the project.
The company remains committed to supporting Western Canadian farmers with locally sourced, stable fertilizers.
Genesis Fertilizers is on track for future development phases, with the goal of commencing commercial operations by 2029.
As per the press release, the company will continue to share progress updates, milestones, and partnership developments. This will ensure transparency and foster strong engagement with farmers.
