The sustainable and predictable disposal of saline wastewater is an indispensable prerequisite for the continuation of potash production in the Werra region. From 2022, K+S plans to discharge highly concentrated wastewater into the old mining area of the Springen mine (Wartburg district). After more than 90 years, it will therefore be possible to discontinue the injection into the plate dolomite, to remediate a former mining site and also to make further progress in reducing the environmental burden on the Werra river.

Over the past several months, K+S has made significant progress with the implementation of Shaping 2030 projects. Despite the progress made, the current difficult external conditions are hampering the achievement of the financial targets. K+S has therefore developed a package of measures to crystallize value rapidly in order to reduce indebtedness.

K+S and the leading pan-African fintech company MFS Africa have partnered in a joint venture to invest in Akorion, an agricultural innovation company in Uganda. The main goal is to further expand Akorion’s digital platform EzyAgric. This technology gives smallholders in Africa significantly better market access and at the same time efficient processes throughout the whole value chain for agricultural products.
