Canadian fertilizer producer Northern Nutrients will partner with Shell Trading Canada to increase fertilizer output at Northern Nutrients' facility in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Northern Nutrients produces enhanced nitrogen sulfur fertilizers using Shell's Thiogro technology. The company's flagship product, Arctic S, consists of 75pc micronized elemental sulfur and 11pc nitrogen.

The joint venture will result in an expansion of the Saskatoon-based facility, tripling its total fertilizer output from 50,000 metric tonnes (t) to 150,000 t/yr. The expansion will also increase sulfur consumption at the facility to approximately 112,500 t/yr, according to Northern Nutrients.

Northern Nutrients said that groundbreaking is underway and the expansion should commence operations in the second half of 2026. The addition of new equipment, infrastructure and construction activity is not expected to impact operations or capacity of the current facility until the project nears completion during the third quarter of 2026, the company told Argus.
