Its technology is based on the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) method using urea, as a reactant.
The company was established as a reaction to the increased focus by the global community on emissions to air from the maritime industry.[citation needed] New IMO regulations, MEPC 58, are in place, which demand a reduction in NOx emissions from ships globally of 20% by 2011 and 80% by 2016.[citation needed]
Yarwil was registered on 22 August 2007 and has its headquarters at Lysaker just outside Oslo in Norway.[1][2]
On 21 October 2013, a press release was issued by Yara International stating they had acquired full ownership of Yarwil and that the company would become part of their NOxCare initiative as of 1 January 2014.[3]
