NACAG finances the procurement and installation of the respective technology under a grant agreement signed with Sable Chemicals in April 2021.

Sable Chemicals, founded in 1966, is the sole manufacturer of nitrogenous fertilizer in Zimbabwe. After the installation of equipment, roughly 300.000 tons of CO2 equivalent will be mitigated annually.
