The Villeta plant in Paraguay is shifting fertilizer production away from natural gas. By combining electrolysis for green hydrogen with biomass from cassava waste, the facility creates ammonia without relying on methane reforming or volatile global gas markets. This approach reduces the carbon footprint of agricultural inputs and removes dependence on geopolitical hotspots like the Strait of Hormuz. It demonstrates a practical model for regional food security using local renewable energy and organic waste.
