EuroChem production site in Antwerp, Belgium — one of the leading manufacturers of mineral fertilizers in Europe
Reducing emissions without compromising crop yield
We produce nitrogen-based fertilizers for European agriculture, including NPK compounds (Nitrophoska), calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), nitrogen-sulfur fertilizers (Nitrosulf), and fertilizers with nitrification inhibitors (ENTEC®).
With continuous investment we enhance the performance of our Antwerp production site developing innovative and low-carbon fertilizer solutions — from production to the field.
EuroChem is driving the development of lower-carbon fertilizer solutions by combining innovation, research, and practical experience.
Our Solutions
EuroChem's innovative fertilizer solutions combine low-carbon fertilizers and nitrification inhibitors, enabling farmers to reduce fertilizer-related emissions while maintaining yields.
Fertilizers and Climate Action: Supporting the EU's Path to Net Zero
Mineral nitrogen fertilizers and manure account for a significant share of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions — estimated at around 5% of global GHG emissions.
Achieving these targets requires innovation and collaboration across the entire agri-food value chain — starting with fertilizers. Already 71% of European food and drink manufacturers have set emission reduction targets, signaling strong industry momentum toward low-carbon production.
Scientifically proven measures for emission reduction
One of the most effective tools to lower greenhouse gas emissions (in form of N₂O (nitrous oxide)) from nitrogen fertilizers is the use of nitrification inhibitors. They delay the conversion of ammonium into nitrate, thereby reducing both direct (caused by nitrification and denitrification) and indirect N₂O emissions (arising from the denitrification of leached nitrate), while also helping to mitigate soil acidification.
of emissionsA highly effective approach to lower the CO₂ footprint of food production is the use of low carbon fertilizers. EuroChem in Europe is one of the leaders in this field.
The human-induced climate change is the defining challenge of our time, and agriculture plays a central role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The global scientific consensus firmly positions the manufacturing and application of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers as a leading contributor to global agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
On the ground, farming communities and agronomic providers are undergoing an operational shift, transitioning away from maximizing raw input volumes toward maximizing chemical efficiency.
Governments and international compliance frameworks are shifting from voluntary guidelines to binding mandates, viewing the decarbonization of the fertilizer industry as non-negotiable for net-zero timelines.
Enhanced-efficiency fertilizers — including those with nitrification inhibitors — are essential tools for achieving climate targets.
Our CO₂-reduced fertilizers and advanced nitrification and urease inhibitors empower farmers to cut emissions significantly without compromising yield or crop quality.
