Phosphate and potash industry decarbonisation roadmap published
Written by Simon Inglethorpe
The global potash and phosphate industries have been offered practical, science-based guidance on greenhouse gas emissions reduction in a newly-published roadmap. This covers the whole value chain, from raw materials and production through to transport, trade and agricultural use.
The roadmap — Decarbonizing the Phosphate and Potash Fertiliser Industry — sets out how these two sectors can cut their emissions in line with the Paris Agreement, while maintaining fertilizer affordability, supply resilience and food security. It is an initiative of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and was developed by sustainability consultancies ERM and Systemiq in collaboration with the International Fertilizer Association (IFA).
