Their production depends heavily on natural gas, and global trade flows rely on critical shipping routes. When energy markets tighten or geopolitical tensions rise, fertilizer prices react quickly — and this ultimately feeds into food inflation. A striking example is the Strait of Hormuz: roughly a third of global seaborne fertilizer trade passes through this corridor. Any disruption can ripple through global agricultural supply chains. This raises an important question for Europe. The EU still relies heavily on imported fertilizers and feedstocks produced with fossil fuels in regions exposed to geopolitical and energy volatility. At the same time, European farmers and the food industry face increasing pressure to #decarbonise their supply chains. Building domestic #lowcarbon fertilizer production is therefore not just a climate issue — it is also a matter of resilience and strategic autonomy. Projects based on electrolytic hydrogen and low-carbon electricity can help: • decarbonise one of the largest emission sources in agriculture • reduce exposure to fossil fuel price shocks • strengthen Europe’s food and agricultural value chains As the link between energy markets, fertilizer prices and food inflation becomes more visible, the case for a new generation of low-carbon fertilizer plants in Europe continues to strengthen. The energy transition is also a food system transition. https://lnkd.in/etPswgW8

Europe’s #security and #sovereignty hinge on building a more competitive and resilient economy, moving away from volatile fossil imports towards clean energy. Today, FertigHy joined 103 other companies and investors across #Europe in signing an open letter calling on EU leaders to maintain a strong and credible Emissions Trading System (#ETS). Europe’s security and sovereignty depend on building a more competitive and resilient economy: moving away from volatile fossil imports and toward clean energy. For two decades, the #ETS has helped drive billions of euros into clean technologies, rewarding early movers and creating market demand for European innovation, from clean steel and cement to hydrogen, electrification and next generation energy solutions. Weakening it now would risk undermining investment certainty precisely when Europe needs it most. Instead, the upcoming ETS revision offers an opportunity to strengthen Europe’s industrial future by: 💶 Strategically deploying ETS revenues to support industrial electrification and long term clean power purchase agreements (PPAs). ⚡ Expanding access to abundant, affordable clean power for industry. 🛡️ Ensuring the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism functions effectively. 📈 Providing clear long term investment signals for breakthrough technologies. As global competition intensifies, policy clarity and regulatory stability are essential to attract capital and scale the industries that will power Europe’s clean and competitive future. 🔗 Read the open letter coordinated by Business for CBAM Coalition, Corporate Leaders Groups Europe, Cleantech for Europe and We Mean Business Coalition: OPEN LETTER - European Industry needs the predictability of a robust ETS to Compete and Invest #EUIndustry #ETS #EnergySecurity Emmanuel Macron, Pedro Sánchez , Ursula von der Leyen, Wopke Hoekstra, Teresa Ribera, Stéphane Séjourné, Dan Jørgensen, Kurt Vandenberghe, Maive Rute, Valere Moutarlier, Jan Dusík Volvo Cars, Stegra, GravitHy, Reverion, Ecocem Global, TiLT Capital Partners SAS, SSAB, Aster Capital, Mirova, Holcim, Elyse Energy, Ingka Group | IKEA, EDF, Novonesis, Tata Steel,Future Food Fund, Carbon Equity, Capricorn Partners, HDF Energy, Lhyfe

Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are once again reminding us how dependent our economies still are on #fossilfuels. This dependence extends to sectors that are critical for global #foodsecurity — including #fertilisers. The current situation involving Iran is already impacting fertiliser markets. As highlighted in the Argus analysis “Middle East Conflict: What It Means for Fertilizer Markets”, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are increasing volatility across global fertiliser supply chains. The scale of the risk is significant: around 35% of global seaborne urea exports pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Urea is the most widely used nitrogen fertiliser and underpins a large share of global food production. Any disruption in this strategic maritime corridor can therefore have immediate consequences for fertiliser availability, prices and ultimately food systems worldwide. But beyond the immediate market reaction, these events expose a deeper structural vulnerability. Today, most fertilisers are still produced using fossil fuels, particularly natural gas. As a result, fertiliser production — and ultimately food production — remains closely tied to energy markets and geopolitical instability. For Europe, this reinforces a broader strategic reality: #foodsecurity, #energysecurity and industrial #resilience are deeply interconnected. Reducing our dependence on fossil-based fertiliser production is therefore not only a climate objective — it is also a matter of strategic autonomy and long-term agricultural resilience. This is precisely why policies such as the EU Emissions Trading System (#ETS) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (#CBAM) are so important. They create the framework to decarbonise industry while ensuring a level playing field between European production and imports. At FertigHy, we believe that developing large-scale production of #lowcarbonfertilisers based on electrolityc hydrogen in #Europe is part of the solution. By investing in new clean industrial capacity, Europe can: • reduce exposure to geopolitical shocks • decrease dependence on fossil-fuel-based fertilisers • strengthen the resilience of Europe’s food system • support farmers with a stable fertiliser supply • accelerate the transition towards climate-neutral agriculture. 👉 Watch the Argus Media analysis here: https://lnkd.in/ec5xJKsw

📣 Entreprises, investisseurs, experts, think tanks et acteurs de la société civile unissent leur voix pour interpeller Emmanuel Macron : la France doit défendre l’ambition du marché carbone européen ! A Bruxelles et à Paris, certains décideurs tentent de saboter ce marché qui a pourtant incité de nombreuses entreprises françaises à réduire significativement leurs émissions. Ce serait un retour en arrière très dangereux pour le climat. Emmanuel Macron va-t-il défendre les entreprises engagées dans la transition ? 🔎 Le marché carbone européen, qu’est-ce que c’est ? Il s’agit du système d'échange de quotas d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre mis en place par l’Union européenne en 2005. L’objectif est simple : faire payer les entreprises en fonction de leurs émissions, les incitant ainsi à décarboner leurs activités. Mais jusqu’à présent, les plus grosses industries ont obtenu  gratuitement la plupart de leurs quotas, au lieu de les acheter, pour les protéger de la concurrence internationale. Progressivement, la taxe carbone aux frontières prend le relais des quotas gratuits. Et pour rétablir une concurrence équitable, un coût carbone équivalent à celui payé par les producteurs européens est imposé aux importateurs. 💡 Cela permet de garantir un prix du carbone suffisamment élevé pour permettre l’émergence de projets industriels bas-carbones majeurs en France et en Europe ! Alors que la crise énergétique de 2022 a révélé l’importante vulnérabilité de l’Europe, la décarbonation est la condition de notre survie industrielle et de notre autonomie stratégique.
