Substantial carbon footprint reduction with ISCC PLUS certified renewable and bio-circular ammonia distributed by Algol Chemicals

Algol Chemicals is the first company in the Nordic countries to supply ISCC PLUS certified low carbon ammonia to its customers. The increasing attention to climate change and consumer demand for greener products will increase further in the coming years. The company is now able to help its Finnish and Scandinavian customers to reduce their environmental impact with sustainable products. 

With ISCC PLUS certified renewable and bio-circular ammonia, it is possible to reduce the carbon footprint significantly by 70-100% vs traditionally produced ammonia (reducing the carbon footprint from approx. 2 kg CO2 / kg N to very close to carbon neutral).

The purchase of an ISCC certified ammonia is responsible procurement of biobased materials and thus promotes sustainable development”, says Peter Martens, Business Unit Director for Algol Chemicals.

The renewable and bio-circular ammonia is used in many different applications like metal treatment, NOx removal at power plants and incinerators, in various chemical processes and for ph-adjustment in fermentation processes etc. 

The renewable and bio-circular products will be available in the Finnish and Scandinavian markets as of June 2023, and it will be a huge step into a more environmentally friendly solutions with a significantly lower carbon footprint. The future long-term goal is to reach 0 by 2050.
