Stewardship
We aim to develop and promote products and services to minimize the impacts and dependencies on the environment, such as climate change, air, water and soil pollution, biodiversity and ecosystems, and to optimize the impacts on society in terms of food security, land use changes, health and safety.

How We Work
Our approach to product stewardship has three pillars, underpinned by our commitment to product safety:
- Providing low-carbon and renewable products that will help reduce embedded emissions in downstream products.
- Enhancing Nutrient Use Efficiency, enabling farmers to maximize productivity on existing farmland while reducing environmental
impacts, supporting both food security and a more resilient agrifood supply chain, - Mitigating environmental impacts beyond GHG emission reduction.
Our commitment to product safety ensures that our products and their raw materials, additives and intermediate products are processed, manufactured, handled, stored, distributed and used in a way that safeguards health, occupational and public safety and the environment.
Our Low-Carbon and Renewable Products
Egypt Green, located in Ain Sokhna, Egypt, is Africa’s first integrated green hydrogen and ammonia plant, aimed at accelerating global climate action by reducing emissions. The project will feature 100 MW of electrolysers powered by 260 MW of solar and wind energy, leveraging Fertiglobe’s existing ammonia infrastructure.
This facility is the first renewable ammonia production site to receive ISCC PLUS certification.In 2023 the company shipped the world’s first ISCC PLUS-certified renewable ammonia. In 2024, Fertiglobe secured a contract through H2Global to supply renewable ammonia to the EU from 2028 to 2033, with a minimum offtake of 40,000 tons per year. In 2025, Egypt Green secured its first long-term offtake award through H2Global at a landed price of €1,000 per ton, providing early commercial validation and supporting project bankability.
Promoting Sustainable Agriculture and Global Food Security
Contect
- Agriculture (including nitrogen fertilizers) contributes ~20% og global GHG emissions
- At the same time, the sector is highly exposted to climate change impacts
Role of Nitrogen Fertilizers
- Nearly 50% of global food production depends on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers
- Essential to feed a growing global population
Future Food Demand
- Global population is expected to reach ~9 billion by 2050
- Food production must increase by 35-50% to meet demand
Dilemma
Without Nitrogen Fertilizer
- Lower crop yields
- Declining soil health
- Reduced farm income
Balancing Food Production, Land Use and Climiate Impact
- Lower crop yields drive the expansion of agriculture into natural land, resulting in biodiversity loss and increased CO2 emissions
- Given the global limits on arable land and growing geopolitical pressures on food seucurity, protecting natural ecosystems while securing agricultural production is essential
- Fertiglobe’s fertilizers help sustain food supply while mitigating enivironmental impacts
Fertiglobe Levers
- Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers (EEFs): EEFs are are the most credible pathways to reduce N2O emissions during field applications, which conventionally contribute to over 50% of GHG emissions in the nitrogen fertilizer value chain (further details are on the following page)
- Low-Carbon Ammonia: Allowing farmers to achieve the same yields while reducing upstream emissions
- Cooperating with leading industry associations to proliferate and implement already avaliable technology in current agronomical standards and enabling inhibitor use for accounting of CO2e emissions reduction of food value chain
Promoting Sustainable Agriculture and Global Food Security
Agriculture holds a complex position in climate dynamics—contributing around 30% of global GHG emissions while also being heavily affected by climate change, which threatens food security, especially for vulnerable communities.
Meeting the needs of a growing population, projected to reach 9 billion by 2050, requires a 70% increase in food production—a challenge we recognize and actively support by supplying fertilizers to essential agricultural regions.
By promoting efficient fertilizer use, we help farmers optimize existing farmland and minimize the need for land conversion. Fertiglobe’s nitrogen-based fertilizers support sustainable agriculture by enhancing productivity in an environmentally responsible way.
Mitigating Environmental Impacts Beyond GHG Emissions
In our commitment to addressing the shipping industry’s decarbonization challenge, we advocate for low-carbon and renewable ammonia as viable alternatives.
Among the various low-carbon fuels, ammonia stands out as one of the few practical options for long-distance shipping, currently contributing to approximately 3% of global COâ‚‚ emissions. This sector is particularly difficult to decarbonize due to the cost-effectiveness of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO).
Renewable ammonia offers a promising solution, as it can be produced using solar and wind resources, resulting in zero carbon emissions. The ammonia engines on our vessels emit no COâ‚‚ or Sulphur Oxides (SOâ‚“), and the minimal Nitrogen Oxide (NOâ‚“) emissions can be neutralized to water and dinitrogen by up to 99%. This makes our renewable ammonia-fueled ships truly zero-emission vessels.
By leveraging our leadership in the ammonia sector, we are committed to driving innovation and sustainability in maritime transport.
