Adoption of nitrogen stabilizers to transition to low-carbon
agriculture
Nitrogen stabilizers are one of the most promising fertilizer emission mitigation tools. They reduce nitrous oxide emissions by slowing the chemical reactions that cause nitrogen losses from fertilizers. They’re already available, widely studied, and don’t require farmers to overhaul their practices.
That’s why Proba and the International Fertilizer Association (IFA) have developed a new greenhouse gas (GHG) methodology focused on the adoption of nitrogen stabilizers. The goal is simple: make it easier for fertilizer producers, food companies, and farmer cooperatives to support and verify climate action through insetting.
Webinar re-cap
Our sustainability engineer Konstantinos Dimitriou and Achim Dobermann, Chief Scientist from the International Fertilizer Association, gave a walk through this methodology.
What we’re asking for
The GHG methodology is open for public consultation, we are looking for feedback :
- Method design choices (e.g. spatial boundaries, emission factors, eligibility criteria)
- Clarity of reporting and verification guidance
- Practicality for use in real-world sourcing and farming contexts

Your comments will be reviewed and addressed in a public feedback and response document before final publication.
