PepsiCo adds fourth low-carbon route

China’s Envision Energy has signed a low-carbon ammonia environmental attribute purchase agreement with PepsiCo APAC and delivered the first 1,000 tonnes of environmental attribute certificates (EACs) linked to its Chifeng Net Zero Industrial Park in Inner Mongolia. The deal was announced on 31 July 2026. Envision said preliminary estimates suggest the attributes could correspond to an emissions reduction opportunity of about 5,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent.

The agreement adds an Asian leg to PepsiCo’s low-carbon fertilizer sourcing programme. As we reported in May, the food group has already built out three routes in other regions: certified low-carbon UAN from CF Industries’ Donaldsonville plant for potato growers supplying its Frito-Lay business in the US; a book-and-claim deal with US ag-tech firm TalusAg covering about 30,000 tonnes of green ammonia with an option on a further 41,000 tonnes across Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia-Pacific and its global procurement teams; and a long-term partnership with Spain’s Fertiberia to supply up to 150,000 t/y of green hydrogen-based fertilizer by 2030 across roughly 162,000 hectares in Europe. PepsiCo has said it expects low-carbon sources to account for about 50% of the fertilizer used in its European supply chain by 2030.
