Urea, a widely used fertilizer, has the molecular formula NH₂CO(NH₂)₂. It contains the elements nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. Carbon and hydrogen can be extracted from fuel oil, naphtha, and natural gas, while nitrogen and oxygen are taken from the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>The completion of the Indian Oil Corporation’s (IOC) SRPL team’s Ennore cross-country pipeline and the ONGC supply of domestic gas through the IOCL cross-country pipeline presented SPIC with an opportunity to transition to a cleaner fuel source. Embracing this opportunity, SPIC agreed to consume domestic gas and re-gasified liquefied natural gas (R-LNG). In preparation for this transition, SPIC adapted its primary reformer catalyst to handle 100 percent natural gas. SPIC is one of the anchor customers to benefit from this pipeline. Until March 2024, it utilized a combination of fuels, with 60 percent of its domestic natural gas supplied through the Indian Oil Corp Ltd (IOCL) Ramnad Tuticorin Pipeline from Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd (ONGC), Ramnad.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>This will bring down the final cost of production of fertilizers. Feedstock will now be continuously available with no storage requirements and minimum logistics and freight overheads. India is eager to increase its gas share in its energy basket from 6.3 percent currently to 15 percent. By achieving complete reliance on natural gas, SPIC demonstrates its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its operations and advancing sustainability goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>Fuel oil and naphtha were traditionally the primary fuels in fertilizer production, despite their higher impurity levels and environmental pollution potential. Recognizing the importance of ecological conservation, the Government of India has advised all fertilizer manufacturers to switch to natural gas. This is a significant step towards India’s Urja Aatmanirbharta (Energy Self-reliance) program.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp> Congratulating the team on this achievement and stressing that SPIC has been one of India’s pioneering fertilizer companies for over five decades, Ashwin Muthiah, Chairman, SPIC, commented, “We are pleased to announce the successful transition to 100 percent natural gas for Urea production. This shift aligns with our commitment to environmental sustainability and underscores our responsiveness to government policies promoting cleaner fuel sources. We remain committed to implementing carbon-neutral initiatives in our raw material usage and manufacturing processes, thus contributing to global climate action goals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\r\n\u003Cp>For more information: \u003Cstrong>www.spic.in\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.magicwandmedia.in\u002Fposts\u002FApril2024\u002FgsqfmkCi9vEsI24zl5xU.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.magicwandmedia.in\u002Fsocial\u002Fhorizontal\u002Fposts\u002FApril2024\u002FgsqfmkCi9vEsI24zl5xU.jpg","2024-04-09T00:59:15+05:30","MWM Desk","News",0,"SPIC has fully transitioned to 100 percent natural gas as the primary raw material for its urea production.\nThe switch optimizes production costs while eliminating the need for fuel storage and reducing logistics overheads.\nThis transition supports the Government of India’s Urja Aatmanirbharta program and broader environmental sustainability goals.","Sustainability in the fertilizer industry is hitting a major milestone! Southern Petrochemical Industries Corporation Ltd (SPIC) has officially transitioned to 100% natural gas for urea production. By leveraging the IOCL cross-country pipeline and moving away from traditional fuel oils and naphtha, SPIC is setting a new standard for operational efficiency and environmental responsibility. This strategic shift not only reduces the company’s carbon footprint but also aligns with India’s goal of increasing natural gas usage to 15% of the national energy basket. As the industry evolves, SPIC’s commitment to 'Urja Aatmanirbharta' demonstrates how legacy manufacturers can successfully pivot to greener, more reliable feedstock solutions. Congratulations to the team for driving innovation in the agri-nutrient sector. #Sustainability #FertilizerIndustry #EnergyTransition","Major milestone for SPIC!
