About the Alliance

The Low Carbon Fertilizer Alliance brings together organizations in the food, beverage, and apparel industries to reduce agricultural supply chain emissions, by providing a simplified and collaborative approach to scale the decarbonization of fertilizer manufacturing.

The Challenge?

While emissions from fertilizer manufacturing represent over 20% of the emissions footprint of many agricultural commodities, companies struggle to mitigate these emissions.  The challenge for food and apparel companies is that these emissions are far upstream and difficult for any individual company to finance and claim.  This is why collective action is necessary.
