Decarbonizing the ammonia fertilizer supply chain in Brazil

The document argues that renewable ammonia is becoming cost-competitive with fossil ammonia and proposes a framework for Brazil to achieve sustainable fertilizer production through strategic vision, policy alignment, investment mobilization, infrastructure expansion, and demand activation.

• Renewable ammonia is currently cost-competitive with fossil-based ammonia in certain regions.
• Brazil can transition from being a fertilizer importer to a global leader in sustainable production by coordinating policy, investment, and markets, which would support economic growth and price stability for farmers.
• Immediate action is required across five specific areas: establishing a coordinated strategic vision and roadmap, harmonizing national policy definitions and incentives, utilizing blended finance and offtake mechanisms to reduce capital costs, improving energy infrastructure for green hydrogen and biomethane, and creating demand-activation mechanisms.
