Commercialising Low Carbon Fertiliser

This 50-minute digital dialogue will looked at how food retailers, processors, and farmers can overcome some of the obstacles standing in the way of commercialising low-carbon fertiliser by using an end-to-end value chain approach, developed by the European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center (EGHAC). 

Principal Drivers and Inhibitors

What are the principal drivers and inhibitors in the shift to low carbon fertiliser? Why is now the right time?

Renewable Availability

Are there enough locations with enough renewable energy and water to produce green hydrogen for use in fertiliser production?

Green Premium

For low carbon fertiliser to be commercially viable, the ‘green premium’ needs to be kept to a minimum. How should any cost increases be shared across the value chain? 

Technological Chances

What technology challenges still need to be solved to make low carbon fertilisers a scalable reality?

Fertiliser Production

How long will it take for low carbon fertilisers to reach a scale where they can be produced and sold at a competitive price?

Consumer Impact

What will the impact be on the end-consumer?  Will demand from consumers for ‘greener’ food help accelerate the shift?
