The Ostchem nitrogen holding company, which brings together Group DF’s nitrogen business enterprises, has resumed seaborne exports of urea for the first time in seven years, Group DF’s press service reported on Wednesday.
“Ukraine has resumed seaborne exports of urea: for the first time in seven years, products from Ukrainian chemical manufacturers were shipped via sea,” the company emphasized.
According to the statement, a shipment of products manufactured by the Ostchem Group was exported through the port of Chornomorsk to international buyers in the Mediterranean region.
The total volume of the shipment was approximately 21,000 metric tons. The main export destinations were Italy and Turkey.
Among the buyers of Ukrainian urea were the U.S.-based Nitron Group and the South Korean Samsung C&T Corporation.
Group DF noted that the resumption of maritime exports occurred against the backdrop of a gradual stabilization of logistics chains and growing interest from international traders in Ukrainian products. A portion of Ostchem’s products also continues to be sold to European industrial consumers via land-based logistics routes.
The company is also in negotiations regarding new export shipments with a number of international traders and industrial consumers.
As previously reported, in April 2026, the plants of the Ostchem nitrogen holding began production of a new nitrogen fertilizer—AMS30 ammonium nitrate.
Ostchem is the nitrogen holding company of Dmitry Firtash’s Group DF, which brings together the largest producers of mineral fertilizers in Ukraine. Since 2011, it has included “Rivneazot” and Cherkasy-based “Azot,” as well as Severodonetsk-based “Azot” and “Styrol,” which are currently inactive and located in occupied territories.

To achieve climate neutrality by 2050, Ukraine needs to attract approximately EUR550 billion in additional investment beyond what it is currently investing in decarbonization.
This was reported in a press release by the DIXI Group think tank, citing new data from the Climate Neutrality Tool, developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) specifically for Ukraine as part of the “Green Agenda for Armenia, Moldova, and Ukraine” project with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
“According to new data from the Climate Neutrality Tool—a model developed by SEI specifically for Ukraine—achieving climate neutrality by 2050 is both realistic and feasible,” the center noted.
As stated in the press release, SEI analyzed the sectors that have the greatest impact on greenhouse gas emissions in Ukraine and assessed their potential for transitioning to a clean economy. In particular, the energy sector has the greatest investment needs: approximately EUR 311 billion. This is followed by transportation—approximately EUR133 billion—and industry—EUR90 billion. Funding will not come solely from the public sector but will be shared between public and private entities.
SEI transferred the Climate Neutrality Tool to the Green Transition Office and, in May, conducted training for government officials on its use. Ukrainian government representatives gained the analytical capabilities and expert knowledge needed to assess decarbonization pathways, plan for green reconstruction, and support both Ukraine’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and its Low-Carbon Development Strategy through 2050.
SEI’s main partner in Ukraine is the Green Transition Office, an independent advisory body under the Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine.
The project is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). The tool covers 55 measures identified as the most effective for reducing emissions in Ukraine and enables policymakers and experts to create and compare various scenarios regarding emissions reductions, investment needs, GDP growth, and new jobs.
“We have developed a practical tool that allows Ukraine to continuously analyze and update its transition path to a clean economy. As new data becomes available and political priorities shift, the government can easily rerun the model and make informed decisions based on the latest data,” said Gotham Mutkumaran, an expert in energy system modeling at SEI Tallinn.
