Nitrogen fertilizer related emissions account for ~5% of global GHG emissions, 2.6 gigatonnes of CO₂e per year. More often than not, fertilizer use represents more than 50% of farmers’ emissions.
The good news: we have the solutions to significantly reduce these emissions. Today.
Proba helps agri-food industry leaders scale sustainable practices and technologies through insetting. By working with fertilizer manufacturers, commodity traders and farmer cooperatives, we enable impactful emissions reductions at every stage of the supply chain.
Strengthen the economic viability of low-carbon technologies, such as green ammonia production.
Quantify and validate emissions reductions with robust, science-driven methodologies.
Integrate strategies aligned with Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to meet climate commitments.
FOR AGRI-FOOD SUPPLY CHAINS:
Accelerate the adoption of advanced solutions, including controlled-release fertilizers and inhibitors.
Encourage sustainable farming practices through targeted incentives and support.
Facilitate co-financed emissions reduction initiatives in collaboration with downstream partners, delivering shared value across the chain.

Together with the International Fertilizer Association (IFA), Proba is developing a quantification and verification methodology to encourage the adoption of enhanced-efficiency fertilizers, focusing on nitrification and urease inhibitors to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Through an insetting approach backed by carbon finance, this program aims to reduce nitrous oxide emissions across the fertilizer supply chain.

Insetting is about reducing greenhouse gas emissions within your own supply chain, rather than compensating for them through external projects. It helps you create real, measurable impact where it matters most: upstream, downstream, or both.
Your efforts to decarbonize are co-financed by downstream partners, who benefit from Scope 3 reduction claims.
Proba is setting the standard for insetting in fertilizer-related decarbonization in the agri-food sector. Leveraging deep industry expertise and collaborations with global leaders like the International Fertilizer Association (IFA), we ensure faster, more efficient decarbonization tailored to the complexities of the agri-food supply chain.
Our proven approach integrates seamlessly across logistics, distribution networks, farmer management systems, and agronomical best practices.
