Europe: Both organizations have acknowledged setting up the first clean hydrogen maritime corridor between the ports of Algeciras and Rotterdam for the decarbonization of European industry and maritime transport. The alliance aims to set up a dependable and robust supply chain for clean energy transformation in Europe, specifically in the transportation and energy sectors in the region. Moreover, it is expected that this collaboration will form a sturdy foundation for industries that are heavily dependent on Non-renewable resources to secure clean ammonia and hydrogen for several downstream applications in Europe while ensuring the clean transformation goals.

The goal of the partnership is to induct a safe, resilient, and cost-efficient supply chain for delivering clean ammonia to Cepsa’s industrial and maritime customers in Rotterdam and Central Europe. Furthermore, it will allow Cepsa to deliver green hydrogen to its customer base with the help of Yara's exceptional global supply base and its footprint. This initiative will also be a crucial step towards forming the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley and the execution of the first maritime corridor of sustainable fuels that will link the South with the North of Europe. Also, Cepsa is planning to build a new green ammonia plant at its energy park in San Roque, Cádiz, near the port of Algeciras, with an annual production capacity of up to 750,000 tons.

According to the CEO of Cepsa, “Green hydrogen and its derivatives are the fastest, most workable, and most competitive solution to accelerate the energy transition in heavy transport and ensure energy independence in Europe. The agreements announced will give our project crucial access to markets, customers, and distribution infrastructure: three key elements to unlocking the potential of our Hydrogen Valley. This is major news for the decarbonization of European shipping and industry and for the planet.” According to the President of YCA, “Yara Clean Ammonia and Cepsa have forged a pioneering partnership to set up a credible and robust supply chain for clean energy transformation in Europe. This partnership will lay a solid foundation for industrial efforts to secure clean ammonia and hydrogen for several downstream applications in Europe while securing the clean transformation goals.”

According to TechSci Research, the collaboration will bring a positive impact on the electric vehicle and energy sectors. TechSci Research believes that the partnership will also cut down the carbon footprint in the Europe region and the dependency on fossil fuels by various industries will significantly reduce such as by maritime transport in the continent. Furthermore, green ammonia is one of the most effective alternatives for decarbonizing maritime transport. As of 2026, shipping companies are expected to expand the use of this sustainable fuel to reduce CO2 emissions by 100%. TechSci Research sees this partnership between Yara Clean Ammonia (YCA) and Cepsa as to capitalize on these market opportunities and expand their presence in the burgeoning green ammonia industry.
