Two categories of lower carbon fertilizers
The Yara Climate Choice fertilizer portfolio includes a range of nitrate-based fertilizers that are now available in lower carbon alternatives. In Canada, this includes selected YaraLiva® and YaraBela® products.
Yara Climate Choice Lower Carbon Fertilizers
Produced using natural gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, these fertilizers permanently remove a large portion of CO2 emissions from the production process. Depending on nitrogen content and CCS application, their product carbon footprint is reduced by 35-75% compared to the same fertilizers produced without CCS.
Yara Climate Choice Renewable-Based Lower Carbon Fertilizers
Made with ammonia sourced from renewable feedstocks like electrolysis-based hydrogen (powered by renewable electricity) or renewable natural gas (RNG), these fertilizers have up to 95% lower carbon footprint compared to the same fertilizer produced from natural gas.
Verified and transparent product carbon footprint
The carbon footprint of Yara Climate Choice fertilizers is independently verified using the "Fertilisers Europe" Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) methodology. Customers receive full PCF documentation, which they can use for sustainability reporting and carbon footprint calculations of their own food products.
