Summer Intern-Optimizing production of NPK fertilizers

We at Yara are part of a global network, collaborating to profitably and responsibly solve some of the world's key challenges - resource scarcity, food insecurity and environmental change.

About the Unit

Yara’s mission is to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet. To convert this into action, Yara Technology located in Porsgrunn, Norway, works to optimize utilization of assets and identify solutions for long-term competitive advantage, including technologies for emission free production of fertilizers based on renewable energy.

Our focus is to improve existing processes and technologies as well as to develop new and innovative solutions for processes and products. We work together with plants on raw material selection, process development, problem solving to support production of high-quality fertilizers. Our aim is to contribute to maintain Yara's leading position in sustainable fertilizer production.
