The Yara Pilbara Fertilisers plant is one of the largest ammonia production sites in the world. Our operations produce an average 840,000MT of ammonia annually, representing about 5% of the global traded market.
Production started in April 2006, and the first export shipment was made from the Port of Dampier in June 2006.
The YPFPL liquid ammonia plant was the first industrial development to be established on the Burrup Peninsula following the State Government's $200m infrastructure investment, and represents one of the largest ammonia production facilities in the world.
