Clariant has announced remarkable results from its Climate Campaign for nitrous oxide abatement at Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited's (GNFC) facility in Gujarat, India.
The installation of Clariant's EnviCat N2O-S catalyst has shown outstanding performance since October 2024, with monitoring data demonstrating significant reduction in N2O emissions equivalent to 44,000 t/month CO2eq.
Xaver Karsunke, head of speciality catalysts at Clariant, said: "Our partnership with GNFC, a pioneering force in India's fertiliser and chemical industry, marks a significant milestone in industrial decarbonisation efforts.
“The exceptional performance of EnviCat N2O-S at GNFC's facility demonstrates how our sustainable catalyst solutions can help industry leaders achieve substantial greenhouse gas reductions."
MI Shamsi, executive director, Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilisers & Chemicals Limited, added: "As a company committed to environmental stewardship since our establishment in 1976, this collaboration with Clariant aligns perfectly with our sustainability goals. The impressive performance of the N2O abatement system not only showcases our dedication to reducing environmental impact but also strengthens our position as an industry leader in sustainable chemical manufacturing."
The implementation at GNFC's facility has demonstrated strong and consistent performance in CO2e reduction. Based on the initial four months of operation, the projected annual CO2e reduction is expected to reach approx. 520,000 metric tons, with further improvements anticipated following a planned catalyst addition during the next maintenance shutdown.
