There’s a huge problem in the fertilizer industry and it is that the sector emits A LOT of greenhouse gases (GHGs). It’s not simple to reduce these emissions though. Carbon finance can help here.
Our recent webinar, Methodology Matters: Deep Dive into Low Carbon Fertilizers, explored the processes of developing a methodology to quantify emissions for low-carbon fertilizers in order to improve the business case of better fertilizers, using carbon finance.
The Fertilizer Industry: A Carbon Intensive Landscape
Sijbrand Tielemen, Proba’s CEO & Co-Founder opens by acknowledging there’s a significant carbon footprint of the fertilizer industry and it comes from all aspects of it; the manufacturing, energy used, transportation, the application on the field and more.
A Blueprint for Change: The Atlas Agro Case Study
Our partner, Atlas Agro, gave an insight into their mission towards low-carbon fertilizer production. Their upcoming factory in Washington State US demonstrates the real-life challenges and opportunities in transitioning from traditional fertilizer to low carbon fertilizers.
Developing a Quantifiable Methodology
Konstantinos Dimitriou, Proba’s expert consultant, deep dives into the intricate calculations required to develop a methodology for quantifying emissions. The webinar explored the key metrics, data points, and the processes necessary to create Impact Units (fka Carbon Credits) for low-carbon fertilizers.
