Maire Tecnimont Group’s innovation and license company Stamicarbon and Russian chemical company Shchekinoazot will team up to jointly explore, develop and implement green technologies at Shchekinoazot’s existing and new enterprises in the Russian Federation, to contribute to sustainable fertilizer production. 

The agreement focuses on assisting in the development and commercialization of green technologies, as a joint effort to industrialize environmentally best performing fertilizer products and processes. 

Stamicarbon will continue to develop green technologies while Shchekinoazot will explore the introduction of green technologies at its existing or new enterprises. Stamicarbon and Shchekinoazot consider each other as a priority partner for the implementation of green technologies at the company’s urea plant and other fertilizer plants in the Russian Federation. 

As part of Maire Tecnimont Group’ strong commitment to accelerate the green economy, Stamicarbon’s innovation program focuses on the development of more sustainable fertilizer production technologies. 

This technological portfolio has recently expanded further with the launch of Stami Green Ammonia, a technological solution to use renewable resources instead of fossil fuels to eliminate carbon from the process and enable sustainable and green fertilizer production. 

Pierroberto Folgiero, Group CEO, Maire Tecnimont said, “Our technology licensor and innovation hub Stamicarbon is at the forefront of innovation in the fertilizer industry, and as such it is best positioned and equipped to set the pace for the development of technologies to support the energy transition. I am glad that an industry leader such as Shchekinoazot has selected Stamicarbon as the partner of choice to industrialize sustainable fertilizer production.” 

Pejman Djavdan, CEO, Stamicarbon said, “We are committed to the development of technologies for Green Fertilizers, decreasing the environmental footprint of fertilizer production and use. In partnership with Shchekinoazot, I’m sure we will greatly contribute to the implementation of these new technologies and intensification of sustainable agriculture.” 

“The implementation of this project will ensure continuous improvement in raw materials processing and enable a shift from the consumption and export of raw materials to the high-tech production and processing of products with increased added value,” said Boris Sokol, President, Shchekinoazot.
