en.Wedoany.com Reported - Siemens has partnered with Shomax, a renewable energy and carbon management company, to build the NitroLEAF green ammonia fertilizer production facility in Texas, USA, aiming to reduce reliance on imported nitrogen fertilizers and strengthen domestic supply. Currently, about 18% of nitrogen fertilizers in the United States are imported.
NitroLEAF is a zero-carbon fertilizer under Shomax, produced by generating green hydrogen through off-grid renewable electrolysis. It contains no natural gas components, thereby mitigating volatility in fossil fuel prices. This product helps increase crop yields while reducing overall fertilizer usage, offering farmers a low-carbon and cost-competitive alternative.
Shomax Energy CEO Irfan Verjee stated: "We are proud to collaborate with Siemens to advance the green ammonia facility in North Texas. Siemens' technical expertise in automation, electrical systems, and digital twins will accelerate construction and reduce costs. NitroLEAF is not only environmentally friendly but also economically viable: made in the USA, serving American farmers." Siemens will provide power distribution, network architecture, process automation, and digital twin simulations to optimize facility design and operations. Tony White, Head of the Chemical and Energy Market at Siemens USA, noted that this partnership will continue to drive sustainable agricultural production.
