Climate Plans

Yara international

Our ambition is to become climate neutral by 2050, and to reach a milestone of a 30% reduction in our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. The strategic pillars to reach these goals are accelerating operational excellence and expanding commercial reach and offering Yara plans to increase energy efficiency and reduce GHG emission intensity. However, subisdiaries and daughter companies are left out of these goals

We are contributing along two main avenues: reducing greenhouse gas emissions from our own operations, and offering and exploring new, sustainable solutions for farmers and food companies as well as for a clean hydrogen and ammonia-based economy.

Performance measures for the climate goals of Yara are increasing the amount of hectares under management to 150 million (2025), reduction of GHG emissions intensity to 2,7 ton CO2 per tonne nitrogen(2025), reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 emission by 30 percent in 2030, reduce energy intensiy (2023).

Yara plans to optimize energy efficiency in ammonia production, as this accounts for 80 percent of direct GHG emissions. Plan is to undertake regular interna land external benchmarking activities, and by carrying out efficiency diagnosis and audits, resulting in systematic improvement actions. However, benchmarks have proven that Yara’s plans are already 2.o percentage points better dan the 2016-2017 global average.

Yara aims to have all major production sites certified to ISO 500001 Energy Management stadard by 2022. .

Having reduced our GHG emissions by 45% since 2005, we are well-positioned to meet the EU 55% reduction target
