The Spanish company Fertiberia announced that the project in which it participated to build Sweden’s first fossil fuel-free mineral fertilizer plant will not continue, as indicated in a statement this Monday to the Commission … National Securities Market (CNMV). Concretely, this is an initiative carried out with the Swedish companies Lantmännen and Nordion Energi and whose production was to begin at the end of 2028, with a total investment estimated at around 2,000 million euros.
The plant was part of the joint “Power2Earth” initiative which, through its production process based on hydrogen generated with fossil fuel-free energy, would have the potential to “significantly” reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from food production and enable its supply to Sweden with less dependence on imports.
SO, “Power2Earth” was based on technology developed by Fertiberia being a producer of mineral fertilizers without fossil fuels. Fertiberia, very present in Andalusia with production centers for liquid and solid fertilizers, warehouses and packaging plants and an R&D center in the provinces of Huelva, Seville, Córdoba and Jaén.
Fertiberia has production and packaging centers in the provinces of Córdoba, Huelva, Seville and Jaén.
However, the company communicated that this project is stopped after the interim financial information for the third quarter of 2025, published last October, explained that “Power2Earth” would not happen as initially planned and that its partners were evaluating alternatives. Fertiberia had already explained that the project partners had agreed that the project would not be carried out as planned.
The reason
“The decision is due to lack of access to a secure network connection with sufficient capacity in Lulea (Sweden),” says the document, which adds that the exploratory talks are still at “an early stage and no decisions have been taken or commitments made at this time.”
Thus, two months after the publication of the aforementioned information, the company communicated that the partners have decided to “permanently end the project because the circumstances which caused its termination persist”.
