PepsiCo has agreed to use hydrogen-derived fertilisers supplied by Yara to grow potatoes at around 1,000 farms across Europe, as Edward Laity reports for H2 View.
Under the agreement, Yara will deliver 165,000 tonnes of fertilisers per year to PepsiCo, which is expected to cover around 25% of their crop fertiliser needs in the continent by 2030.
The delivery will include fertilisers produced from either renewable ammonia in Herøya, Norway, or low-carbon ammonia via carbon capture and storage (CCS) from its site currently under construction in Yara Sluiskil, anticipated for 2025/2026.
Fertiliser production and in-field emissions account for half of PepsiCo’s average potato carbon footprint in Europe.
