Alberta ag company joining DEF ranks
CALGARY — Agrium Inc. has entered into an agreement to supply diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) grade prilled urea for the production of DEF with Old World Industries.
Agrium, an Alberta-based retail supplier of agricultural products and services, will supply the urea from a nitrogen facility in Borger, Tex. for Old World’s BlueDEF branded DEF.
The tonnage supplied from the Borger facility will start from a small base and is expected to grow at a rapid rate over the next five to ten years, says the company.
DEF will be added to the exhaust gas of SCR heavy-duty diesel engines made after Jan. 1. Agrium expects the market for DEF across North America to exceed 1.5 million tons of urea equivalent (1 billion gallons of DEF) by the year 2020.
