Energy Saving
About Workgroup
The Arab Fertilizer Association recognizes that fertilizer production is an energy-intensive field, with fertilizer production consuming approximately 1.2% of total global energy share, while ammonia production alone accounts for 94% of the total energy consumption within this industry. Therefore, energy conservation is considered a crucial factor in improving the economics of fertilizer plants. This, in turn, leads to cost reduction in production and subsequently lower product prices, ultimately promoting the responsible use of fertilizers and enhancing agricultural productivity.
Taking into consideration the above-mentioned context, the Arab Fertilizer Association has established an Energy Efficiency Working Group to assist its members in identifying energy conservation initiatives and implementing them effectively.
Vision
Ensuring that members of the Arab Fertilizer Association, to continuously work towards energy efficiency in all stages of fertilizer production, transportation, and utilization.
Mission
Drive energy-efficiency excellence across the fertilizer industry by collaborating with stakeholders, advocating for supportive policies, quantifying benefits, building capacity, and exploring new technologies, contributing to a sustainable and secure food system
