It's a great day for the decarbonization of food production, as we announce our long-term partnership with PepsiCo in Europe.   To tackle the climate crisis, we need a bold shift, one that involves all players in the food value chain. Together with PepsiCo Europe, we are demonstrating that this transformation is possible.   We will support up to 1,000 farmers across Europe by supplying them with our premium fertilizers, including low-carbon footprint fertilizers produced from either renewable ammonia or ammonia produced with carbon capture and storage, as well as precision farming digital tools, and best-practice crop nutrition advice. This will help farmers increase nutrient use efficiency, boost yields and reduce the carbon footprint of their crops.   Yara will deliver up to 165,000 tons of fertilizer per year to PepsiCo, covering around 25% of their crop fertilizer needs in Europe by 2030, reducing up to 80% of fertilizer production emissions and 20% reduction of in-field fertilizer emissions, while maintaining crop quality and yields.   This partnership is a testament to what can be achieved through collaboration across the entire food value chain. I'm incredibly excited about partnering with a first mover like PepsiCo and the journey ahead.

✨It's a great day for the decarbonization of food production in Europe!✨ Today we are launching a long-term partnership with PepsiCo in Europe to provide farmers with best-in-class crop nutrition products and advice as well as precision farming digital tools. 🤝 This partnership will allow PepsiCo's farmers to: 👨🌾 Increase nutrient use efficiency 🌾 Boost yields 👣 Reduce the carbon footprint of their crops The focus will be on potatoes, a key crop for PepsiCo, and then expand to other crops such as oats and corn. Approximately 1,000 farms across Europe and the UK will be included in the partnership. 🥔 This collaboration underlines our shared commitment to build a more sustainable food system in Europe, while supporting farmers through transition costs to ensure their livelihoods are not adversely impacted. 🧑🌾 Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dBXj6CJ2

Last month, we proudly inaugurated our renewable #hydrogen plant at Herøya Industripark AS in Porsgrunn, Norway! This marks a major milestone for Yara Clean Ammonia and Yara International in decarbonizing the food value chain, shipping fuel, and other energy-intensive industries. Our 24 MW plant, the largest of its kind in operation in Europe, uses renewable energy to produce hydrogen through water electrolysis, cutting 41,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. 🌿💧 Collaboration is key to the green transition, requiring significant investments, advanced technology, and robust renewable energy infrastructure. 💡 At Yara Porsgrunn, we’ve cut emissions by 67% since 2005 and we are committed to delivering decarbonized solutions at scale for a sustainable future. 🤝 Interested to know what renewable ammonia looks like? Check out the picture below to see the first drops of renewable ammonia produced last autumn. 👇

Jeg har skrevet i NRK Ytring om behovet for forutsigbarhet møte med uforutsigbarhet. De politiske partiene i Norge er nå i gang med å utarbeide politikken landet skal styres etter frem mot 2030 i det de utvikler nye partiprogram. Disse programmene er kontrakten med velgerne og derfor prosesser vi alle bør engasjere oss I fordi de berører de samfunnsspørsmålene vi er opptatt av. Vi er inne i en tid som trolig blir mer krevende enn på lenge, fordi vi blir stadig flere eldre og færre i arbeid, vi får flere oppgaver å løse, men samfunnet har ikke nok arbeidskraft til å løse dem. Når aktiviteten på sokkelen avtar trenger vi flere bein å stå på. Klimamålene vi skal nå i 2030, er ikke langt unna. I møte med disse utfordringene trenger Norge et sterkt næringsliv og næringslivet trenger forutsigbarhet, stabilitet og moderasjon. I en verden som preges av større splittelse og polarisering, både mellom land og innad i land, er politisk stabilitet en av de viktigste verdiene vi har. Usikkerhet i andre land gjør det til en styrke med samling og forutsigbarhet i Norge. Derfor håper jeg at uansett farge på vår neste regjering, at norske politikere søker å finne frem til bredere forlik i de store og viktige sakene, enn hva vi har hatt de siste stortingsperiodene. Brede politiske forlik har alltid vært avgjørende for fremgang og utvikling, enten det har handlet om politikk for energi, skatt eller klima. Vi har behov for politikere som står sammen når det trengs. Trykk på artikkelen nedenfor om du vil lese hele kronikken.
