Urea and SCR, the underrated piece of the NOx puzzle

New emission control areas are coming into force in the Norwegian Sea and the Canadian Arctic in 2026. This is a reminder that clean combustion depends on more than clean fuel.

Ocean horizon

Much of the industry conversation around decarbonization focus on alternative fuels, like methanol, ammonia and other substances. For the vessels running today and for years to come, one of the most immediate compliance tools is far simpler: urea, used in SCR systems to cut nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

This matters now more than ever. New emission control areas are entering this year, which tightens NOx and SOx limits in waters that many of our customers sail through regularly. For vessels fitted with SCR systems, reliable access to high-quailty marine urea is simply a must-have.

This is where our dedicated bunkering infrastructure comes in. Through TIER III in Houston and UREA-Xpress in Rotterdam with our partnership with Yara, we've built supply points specifically so that operators can easily access urea supply in ports all around the world. Need our expertise? We've got you covered!
