Investor update summary
31 Mar, 2026Strategic progress and project updates
Villeta project, the world's largest green fertilizer facility, completed FEED and targets FID and funding by end of 2024, with production starting in 2027.
Secured a long-term offtake agreement with Yara for 100% of Villeta's output, de-risking and validating the project.
Project pipeline includes advanced developments in Costa Rica (120MW, targeting PPA in H2 2024) and the 300MW Yguazu project in Paraguay, both with government support.
Each project will operate as a separate SPV, with financing arranged through Natixis, the Inter-American Development Bank, and oversubscribed debt for Villeta.
EPC parties identified, fixed price contract in progress, and projects benefit from free trade zone tax exemptions.
Market opportunity and decarbonization
Fertilizer industry emits 2.6 billion MT CO2eq/year, with demand rising as population nears 10 billion.
Green fertilizer production uses hydroelectric power for hydrogen, eliminating hydrocarbons and reducing emissions by ~90%.
Villeta's output will displace up to 500,000 MT CO2e annually.
Decentralized production model enables local supply, reducing transport emissions and increasing food security.
Green CAN is expected to command a premium and is competitive with grey market prices.
Financial outlook and risk management
Commercial viability is based on current regional fertilizer prices, with no reliance on green premiums or carbon credits.
Villeta's projected EBITDA is $70 million and revenues $110 million in its first full year; group EBITDA could reach $190+ million by 2030.
Financing strategy focuses on long-term debt, infrastructure investors, and a £4 million working capital facility from the main shareholder.
Risk-averse approach includes proven alkaline electrolyzer technology, robust permitting, and replicable engineering.
