Its technology is based on the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) method using Urea as a reactant. This method can reduce NOx emissions from ships by as much as 95%.

The company was established as a reaction to the increased focus by the global community on emissions to air from the maritime industry. 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.

There are several different technologies available for the reduction of NOx, however the Selective Catalytic Reduction method is the only known technology that can reach the 2016 target of 80%.

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]
