LSB Industries, Inc. Appoints Hector Miravete as Director of Clean Energy

LSB Industries, Inc. (NYSE:LXU) (“LSB” or the “Company”) today announced that Hector Miravete has joined the Company as Director of Clean Energy, effective May 3, 2021. This newly created position is intended to lead the development and execution of LSB’s recently launched Green Ammonia initiative.

“We are very excited to have Hector join our senior leadership team as our Director of Clean Energy,” stated Mark Behrman, LSB’s President and CEO. “The global focus on reducing carbon emissions is intensifying and Green Ammonia has the potential to play an important role in this critical environmental objective. Hector’s extensive experience, in both commercial and operational roles, makes him highly qualified to lead our efforts in assessing the opportunity in front of us, refining our strategy and deploying our resources to enter the Green Ammonia market in a meaningful way. On behalf of our Board, I’d like to welcome Hector to LSB.”

About Green Ammonia

Green Ammonia is produced using renewable feedstock, specifically hydrogen from water electrolysis and nitrogen separated from the air, rather than natural gas or coal, resulting in a zero CO2 emission process. In addition to its potential as a carbon-free fertilizer, Green Ammonia has tremendous potential as a maritime fuel, an energy source for power generation, and for a broad range of industrial applications in the automotive, construction and food additive markets, among others. Green Ammonia has numerous advantages over other hydrogen sources, including the existence of a well-established global ammonia manufacturing production and distribution infrastructure along with its ease of transport over land and water.
