GNFC Cuts CO2e Emissions with Envicat N2O Removal Catalyst

Clariant recently announced remarkable results from its Climate Campaign for nitrous oxide (NOx) 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 CO2e.

“Our partnership with GNFC, a pioneering force in India’s fertilizer and chemical industry, marks a significant milestone in industrial decarbonization 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,” comented Xaver Karsunke, head of Specialty Catalysts at Clariant.

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 CO2e reduction is expected to reach approximately 520,000 t/y, with further improvements anticipated following a planned catalyst addition during the next maintenance shutdown.

While nitric acid is essential for manufacturing fertilizers, its production process emits N2O, which is almost 300 times more harmful to the climate than CO2. The EnviCat N2O catalyst series effectively removes N2O and other nitrogen oxides, designed as a drop-in solution that can be easily installed without disrupting manufacturing processes. With over 50 successful installations globally and 20 years of market presence, EnviCat N2O continues to demonstrate its effectiveness in industrial applications.
