17 Jul 2015 · 1/ ETS and the consequences for the fertilizer industry, Fertilizer production is very energy intensive due to the use of natural gas as feedstock and the heating requirements. ETS (benchmarks and correction factors) is therefore a key concern for the fertilizer industry, and especially for the production of ammonia. The Commission services have clearly marked the fertilizer industry as the industry most exposed to carbon leakage. 2/2. Climate change mitigation in agriculture and the contribution of the fertilizer sector, Fertilizers are an important part of GHG calculations in agriculture. Intensification means that more CO2 will be taken up by the plants. Using the right fertilizer and the right techniques can lower emissions. Fertilizers Europe are involved in several activities to promote better use of fertilizers, and we cooperate with DG AGRI on some of these activities.
