Fertiglobe CEO Ahmed El-Hoshy said rising construction costs, long equipment lead times, and supply-chain disruptions are delaying final investment decisions on green and low-carbon ammonia projects. Strait of Hormuz-related disruption has also affected equipment deliveries and services, while Fertiglobe’s 1-million-tonne-per-year Project Harvest in Abu Dhabi is progressing.
Delays could defer new low-carbon ammonia capacity, tightening prospective fertilizer supply and lending support to nitrogen fertilizer prices, though the market impact is limited without a wider capacity loss.
