The EU Fertiliser Action Plan, ETS, CBAM and the Fertiliser Industry
About this episode
The episode discusses the EU Fertiliser Action Plan and its implications for affordability, resilience, and the transition to low-carbon fertiliser production.
Panel 1: The EU Fertiliser Action Plan – Balancing affordability, resilience and transition The Fertiliser Action Plan from the European Commission aims to address a complex policy triangle: ensuring affordability for farmers, strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy, and ensuring that European fertiliser producers are fit to transition to low-carbon fertiliser production. This panel will unpack how these objectives interact in practice. Participants will discuss short-term measures, including support for farmers and enhanced collaboration across the value chain. At the same time, the discussion will explore enabling conditions to maintain and strengthen domestic production capacity, improve access to competitively priced energy and raw materials, and reinforce resilience against global market shocks. A key focus will be the feasibility of scaling low-carbon and circular fertilisers, including through labelling and creating market incentives. Key questions to be addressed: -How to reconcile strategic autonomy, affordability for farmers and EU fertiliser industry competitiveness? Can affordability and decarbonisation be achieved simultaneously? -How can Europe strengthen…
