As we aim for a sustainable future, it's crucial to consider the environmental impact of every aspect of our lives, including agriculture. 🚜🌾   Fertilisers are fundamental in food security by increasing yields and reducing the demand for farmland.    Ammonia is a great source of nitrogen and it is a key component in fertilisers but the process of its production is polluting, contributing to 1.8% of global CO2 emissions.    Several companies are exploring innovative approaches to decarbonise ammonia production (green ammonia).    Alternatively, some companies are leaning on the nitrogen-fixing abilities of certain microorganisms to ultimately reduce the need for ammonia.    Technologies like these play a significant part in enabling the agriculture industry to reach Net Zero and by adopting these innovative approaches, we can ensure food security while simultaneously reducing our carbon footprint. 🌍   Let us know what innovative solutions you believe will make the most impact! 💬🌱   #sustainability #greenammonia #NetZero #agriculture #farminginnovation #foodsecurity #BarclayHamp

Prospective producers are facing uncertainty about future prices of green ammonia, raising questions about how long it would take to make projects financially sound. It is clear that the higher cost of green ammonia must be absorbed throughout the value chain until it can become more competitive with gray ammonia. Farmers alone cannot bear the higher costs. As we note in a recent report,15 a range of barriers are preventing farmers from adopting decarbonization solutions at scale. Farmers, who are key to the sustainability transition, lack incentives to adopt new methods and technologies. Measures to encourage farmers to decarbonize could include green premiums, subsidies, rebates, or other incentive mechanisms. #greenammonia #energytransition #agriculture #fertilizers

Mass balance isn’t new, in fact, it has a long legacy in sustainable agriculture and other industries with capital-intensive infrastructure. In the chemicals industry, mass balance allows for the replacement of hydrocarbons with more sustainable feedstocks.

At our Al Wathba plant, Veolia's VEBES exemplifies resource regeneration through its advanced wastewater treatment processes. The plant treats municipal wastewater, converting it into valuable resources such as recycled water, which is reused for irrigation of green areas and industrial applications, reducing the demand for freshwater resources.💧 Organic waste from the treatment process is converted into biogas, which is used to generate electricity, thereby reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the plant recovers nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater, which can be used as fertilizers, promoting sustainable agriculture. These initiatives at the Al Wathba plant demonstrate Veolia's commitment to transforming wastewater into valuable resources, contributing to environmental sustainability and resource efficiency. #regenerationofresourcers #weareresourcers #ecologicaltransformation

🌱 Regenerative Ag programs have emerged as an effective land-based strategy for addressing #climatechange. These projects are gaining traction worldwide due to their potential to reduce emissions and increase resiliency on #farms and in agrifood #supplychains.  However, in order for programs to be valuable — meaning they generate high-value outcomes 🔍 (like certified #carbonreductions and removals) — programs must have integrity. What makes a high-integrity program?
