Europe’s industrial future stands at a crossroads. ? Today, I joined the Alliance of Energy Intensive Industries (AEII) at the European Parliament for an important discussion, hosted by MEP Giorgio Gori, on how Europe can stay competitive while accelerating decarbonization. ? A strong domestic industry is essential for Europe’s strategic autonomy, food security, and climate ambitions. Yet, European industry is confronted with high energy costs and the need to invest massively in decarbonization. The Clean Industrial Deal is a step in the right direction, but urgent measures are needed to reduce energy price impacts and ensure a real business case for investment. ? A timely implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and a concrete solution for exporters are critical. At the same time, the cost of decarbonization must be shared across the value chain to ensure a fair and competitive market for low-carbon products. ? At Yara, we are taking action. We’ve been operating one of Europe’s largest electrolyzers for over a year, and next year, we’ll begin sequestering 800,000 tons of CO? annually through our carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Sluiskil - the largest of its kind in Europe. But we know that no company can solve this challenge alone. ?? Yara is committed to accelerating this transition, but the right framework is crucial to make it happen.

Shipping makes up 3% of global GHG emissions - and is heavily dependent on fossil fuels. That needs to change. ???? ? ?? The International Maritime Organization will soon set historic regulations to steer the shipping industry towards net-zero emissions. ?? ? ?? It is critical that these regulations create a level playing field where zero- and near-zero fuels (ZNZs) can compete with fossil fuels.?? ? ? There will be no green transition with red numbers. Transitioning to ZNZ fuels must provide a positive business case for all parts of the value chain.? ? IMO has the tools and the power to ensure that ZNZ fuels become a realistic alternative for the shipping industry. Now it must act. ?

This World Water Day, we're celebrating Yara Korea's innovative work that's enabling farmers to?convert from irrigation to fertigation. ?? ? ?? In Korea, the average age of a farmer is 68 and the availability of labor in agriculture is diminishing.?Add this to volatile crop prices, Korean farmers are seeking innovative solutions to improve productivity while minimizing environmental impact. This is where Yara's fertigation solutions can play a crucial role!? ? ?? Fertigation is the mix of fertilizer and irrigation that optimizes water and fertilizer use, while also reducing carbon emissions. By converting irrigation to fertigation, fewer labor resources are required, offering a better cost position. ? ???? However, farmers who only use irrigation methods are usually unaware of the benefits associated with converting to fertigation and changing farming practices takes time and effort. ? ?? To support farmers in adapting fertigation practices, Yara Korea has developed Crop Total Solutions for precise application in 25 crops and has hosted over 40 farmer seminars. They have also been working with key distribution partners, making it easier and more cost-effective for farmers to transition to fertigation. ? Thanks to Yara Korea's innovative approach, fertigation is helping farmers improve productivity, increasing incomes, and contributing to a more resilient and sustainable food system. ?? ?
