We discuss how FertigHy’s innovative approach to producing low-carbon fertilizers using electrolytic hydrogen from renewable and low-carbon electricity is setting a new standard in the market that is feeding Europe and the world.
The episode delves into the major challenges and opportunities facing the industry. Jose also shares insights on FertigHy’s strategic partnerships and their commitment to helping food and beverage companies achieve their decarbonization targets across the full supply chain.
Key topics include:
- The business rationale behind FertigHy and the decarbonization challenges in the agri-food industry.
- FertigHy's innovative French project and how it's revolutionizing the fertilizer supply chain.
- Strategic partnerships and their role in driving sustainability and commercial goals.
- Navigating regulatory roadblocks to bring low-carbon fertilizers to farms in Europe, and more globally.
- Insights and lessons for future students of decarbonization and the complexities of the energy transition including certification of emissions across food and drinks value chain.
Jose also explains why France was chosen as the site for FertigHy’s first facility and discusses the key enablers needed for new frontrunners in the green fertilizer industry, such as access to land, logistics, grid connections, and affordable power.
