Yara plant in Brunsbüttel
The Yara plant in Brunsbüttel (Yara GmbH & Co. KG) is a subsidiary of Yara International and one of the largest factories in Brunsbüttel . Alongside Rostock, Brunsbüttel is the second location of the Norwegian group in Germany.
The Brunsbüttel location is in Büttel , in the ChemCoast Park Brunsbüttel, at the entrance to the Kiel Canal and the mouth of the Elbe into the North Sea , so it has direct connections to the North and Baltic Seas. The Brunsbüttel plant operates two production units: an ammonia and a urea plant . The plant's 178 meter high chimney is the tallest chimney in Schleswig-Holstein .
According to its own information, the plant is the world's largest producer of AdBlue with a capacity of 1.1 million tons per year. Due to the very energy-intensive production, the Yara plant in Brunsbüttel consumes 0.7 billion cubic meters annually, around one percent of the total German natural gas demand.
The Yara plant in Brunsbüttel currently has 214 employees, plus 23 trainees in various professions (as of 2018).
