Cleaner air / NOx abatement

Authorities around the world have taken steps to regulate emissions of pollutants from heavy-duty and light vehicles. In Europe, the Euro IV, Euro V and recently voted-upon Euro VI, standards are being applied.

Almost all major European heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers have decided to use Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) technology to meet the new emissions requirements. SCR requires the use of AdBlue® (DEF), a reducing agent. Light vehicles are also using this technology. SCR offers in addition the benefit of being more fuel-efficient than competing technologies, which means lower CO₂ emissions.

Yara is the world's leading AdBlue (DEF) producer. Its Sluiskil plant in The Netherlands is the largest AdBlue (DEF) plant in the world. The AdBlue (DEF) is produced from a prime urea solution, giving it an unmatched level of purity. Each batch is verified so operators can rest assured that their catalyst will not be damaged prematurely.

Yara’s Air1® brands offers the only AdBlue (DEF) solution that monitors the complete chain directly from Yara plants to heavy-duty vehicles for a top-quality product and complete service offer. With Air1®, heavy-duty vehicle operators best deal with the requirements imposed on their business by the new emission standards while maintaining their performance. Air1® also helps users of light vehicles to feed their clean vehicles with quality reagents.

Air1® is available at public filling stations, truck stops, automatic filling stations and truck dealerships. It is the choice of leading oil majors, OEMs and the largest fleets, offering bulk distribution for mini-bulks in home depots and retail stations. Air1® is available through multiple bulk depots throughout the entire world. Air1® is also available via selected distributors who tailor their offer to the needs of smaller operators – delivering AdBlue mainly in intermediate bulk containers, drums and cans.
