Spain's Fertiberia to supply PepsiCo low-CO2 fertilizer
Spain's Fertiberia to supply PepsiCo low-CO2 fertilizer
London, 7 May (Argus) — Spanish fertilizer producer Fertiberia will progressively supply global food and beverage manufacturer PepsiCo with up to 150,000 t/yr of low-carbon nitrate fertilizers by 2030, under a new long-term supply agreement. Fertiberia will supply its renewable ammonia-based fertilizers, known under its Impact Zero brand, to global food and beverage manufacturer PepsiCo over an unspecified time frame. Farmers supplying PepsiCo will then use the fertilizers across approximately 400,000 acres (162,000 hectares) of farmland. Fertiberia has produced 20,000 t/yr of renewable ammonia at its Puertollano plant since 2022. The site has a 20MW electrolyser fed by an integrated 100MW solar photovoltaic plant. Fertiberia also produces 180,000 t/yr of natural-gas based ammonia at Puertollano, and previously indicated plans to add a further 50-180MW of electrolyser capacity — although it is yet to do so. The firm has also announced tentative plans for four further renewable ammonia projects in Spain, all of which have yet to reach final investment decisions. Fertiberia produces around 155,000 t/yr nitric acid at Puertollano. Combined with its ammonia feedstock, this can produce around 280,000 t/yr of ammonium nitrate and calcium ammonium nitrate fertilizers. Fertiberia's Impact Zero range utilises slow-release formulas and biological inhibitors to further enhance agronomic efficiency, reducing the overall greenhouse gas emissions of the finished product by 63pc. The supply agreement with PepsiCo builds on a successful trial in Spain and Portugal, where carbon emissions were cut by up to 20pc across corn farming and up to 15pc across potato farming, Fertiberia and PepsiCo said, without providing a benchmark emission level. The programme will now expand to France, Romania, Serbia, Greece and Turkey, for key crops including potatoes, corn, sunflower, sugar beet and rapeseed. The agreement will bring PepsiCo's share of low-carbon fertilizers used in its European operations up to 50pc by 2030, the company said. PepsiCo also has deals with Norwegian fertilizer company Yara in Europe , US nitrogen producer CF in the US and, most recently, agriculture technology company TalusAg across multiple regions . Similar initiatives have been undertaken by other global food and beverage manufacturers, which have a higher willingness to pay for the use of emissions-reducing fertilizer products in their supply chains than the farmers that are directly applying the product.

Australia’s NSW tables bill to fast-track renewables
Australia’s NSW tables bill to fast-track renewables
Singapore, 7 May (Argus) — Australia's New South Wales (NSW) state has proposed rules to speed up key renewable energy projects, to meet power demand as coal generation falls. Under legislation tabled on 6 May, the state energy minister would be able to identify high-priority projects to move faster through the planning pipeline. The NSW government wants to ensure reliable and affordable energy for heavy industry such as UK-Australian producer Rio Tinto's Tomago aluminium smelter, the largest in Australia, it said. No environmental and community assessments will be removed, the government added. Eligible projects include those for renewable power generation, clean energy storage, and power transmission. The state parliament has received the proposed legislation but has not yet voted to pass it. The government is also planning reforms for how projects are sent to the Independent Planning Commission, which reviews complaints. Currently the commission reviews projects that have garnered 50 or more public objections. Renewables made up 39.6pc of power generation in NSW, Australia's most populous state, in 2025, according to data tracker Open Electricity. NSW and Australia's largest coal power station, Eraring, delayed its retirement earlier this year in part because there was insufficient new generation capacity. Australia already has a national renewable energy priority list, which allows regulators to attend to key projects faster, but does not remove any assessment steps.

Morocco and Norway sign Paris Article 6.2 agreement
Morocco and Norway sign Paris Article 6.2 agreement
Berlin, 6 May (Argus) — Morocco and Norway on Tuesday signed a bilateral agreement on co-operating under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, through which Norway will provide financial support to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions in Morocco's power sector. The activities will generate so-called internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (Itmos) under Article 6.2, which will be counted against Norway's nationally determined contribution (NDC) — climate plan — under the Paris deal, and after a few years also Morocco's, Norway's climate and environment ministry said. Under the agreement, Norway will help finance about 2GW of renewable power capacity, including battery systems, in 2026-36 under a generation-based incentive programme, Morocco's ministry of energy transition and sustainable development said. This provides projects with performance-based payments for every energy unit generated, as opposed to covering initial capital costs. The programme focuses on relatively complex or less profitable renewable energy projects requiring additional financial support through carbon market mechanisms. This "additionality" is a key criterion under Article 6. The initiative is expected to reduce up to 10mn t of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) by 2030, while also providing other benefits such as promoting technology transfer and creating job opportunities. Norway has signed seven other Article 6.2 co-operation agreements, including one with Switzerland on cross-border transport and storage of carbon. Morocco has also signed bilateral agreements under Article 6.2 with Switzerland and Singapore. By Chloe Jardine Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2026.

EU could use Pacm credits as 'safety reserve': Study
EU could use Pacm credits as 'safety reserve': Study
Berlin, 5 May (Argus) — The EU should consider treating some of the international carbon credits that it can use to meet up to 5pc of its 2040 climate target as a "safety reserve" to offset potentially damaging developments in its land-use sector, according to a paper published by environmental research institute Oeko-Institut this week. Using international credits as a safety reserve would mean raising the EU's domestic reduction target beyond 85pc, the Oeko-Institut researchers emphasised in their recommendations to the EU. The bloc has set a target to reduce its emissions by 90pc compared with 1990 levels by 2040. The EU should also not allow the direct use of carbon credits by companies covered by the bloc's emissions trading system (ETS), they said, with credit procurement preferably carried out by a central purchasing facility. The UN-controlled Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (Pacm) under article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement should be used as a "minimum" integrity benchmark for purchased credits, combined with additional criteria and safeguards, the researchers said. And the EU should clarify the maximum amount of carbon credits that can be used, bearing in mind that "high-quality carbon credits will not be available at low cost", while the bloc should also engage in strategic partnerships with project host countries at an "early stage", the study said. The researchers recommended that the EU count only around 50pc of the credits' emissions savings towards its own nationally determined contribution (NDC), or climate plan, under the Paris Agreement. At least 30pc should be kept for the project host countries, while 10pc should be put into the UN's climate adaptation fund — compared with the 5pc obligation under article 6.4 — and 10pc cancelled to contribute to global emissions reductions, compared with the 2pc mandatory cancellation under article 6.4. There could be variations between host countries, with least-developed countries receiving a higher share of credits, or between types of emissions-cutting activities, the researchers said. The EU should ensure that third-party auditors are not selected or paid by project developers, they said. The researchers also warned about the "accounting gaps" in the Paris Agreement arising from single-year NDC targets compared with carbon-market approaches commonly implemented over multi-year periods. Countries with single-year targets could resort to "averaging" the number of carbon credits used or sold over an NDC period for the target year, potentially leading to double counting of emissions reductions and an increase in global emissions, even when carbon credits represent additional emission reductions or removals. The EU should only engage with countries that also use multi-year approaches, the Oeko-Institut recommended. And the bloc should implement a "like-for-like" approach for any use of carbon credits subject to reversal risks, which could be used to compensate for carbon emissions or a decline in removals from the land-use sector. The EU should also not count payments for the credits as climate finance under the UN's new collective quantified goal target of providing "at least" $300bn/yr in climate finance for developing countries by 2035, the researchers said. If the EU uses ambitious values for sharing emissions cut benefits, this could lead to project developers becoming unwilling to sell carbon credits with less ambitious benefit-sharing arrangements, the researchers warned.
