AdvanSix awarded $12M grant from USDA

AdvanSix announced that it has been awarded an approximately $12M grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Fertilizer Production Expansion Program supporting the expansion of innovative American fertilizer production strengthening domestic supply chains of fertilizers, and creating economic opportunities for American businesses. Through this grant, AdvanSix will further advance its Sustainable U.S. Sulfate to Accelerate Increased Nutrition initiative at its site in Hopewell, VA where ammonium sulfate fertilizer is currently produced. SUSTAIN is a series of projects with multi-year investments from AdvanSix which is targeting no net increase in energy consumption or emissions. These projects are designed to build on the facility’s nearly 100-year history of providing a reliable, domestic supply of essential nitrogen-based fertilizers, while also keeping environmental stewardship at its core.
