Low Carbon Fertilizers in Developing Countries
16:00 (CET)
August 9
What We’ll Discuss
Recent geopolitical events, particularly the war in Ukraine, have significantly impacted the global fertilizer market. Russia is a major supplier of nitrogen fertilizers, and with its exports disrupted, there are price volatility and supply shortages that have adversely affected farmers in vulnerable regions of Africa and Latin America​​. Does this highlight the urgent need for these countries to develop local fertilizer production capabilities with a lower carbon footprint?

This discussion will explore the potential of green hydrogen in Africa and Latin America, which can be transformed into green ammonia and then into nitrogen fertilizers. This offers a promising solution in the long term to strengthen food security, reduce dependency on imports, foster low-carbon industrialization, and, in case of Latin America, bolster its role as an important global producer and exporter of food staples.

Our speakers
Nonresident Scholar at Rice University's Baker Institute & Southern Methodist University's Texas-Mexico Center
Adrian Duhalt is a Non-resident Scholar at Rice University’s Center for the US and Mexico and Southern Methodist University’s Texas-Mexico Center, and until recently, a Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.

His professional and research interests sit at the junction between political economy and development issues concerning the energy sector in Mexico, the US and Latin America. Specifically, his research projects have focused on natural gas and petrochemicals, and he published articles and reports on topics such as the ammonia-fertilizer value chain, the energy sector liberalization in Mexico, social conflict in energy infrastructure projects, and NOCs. More recently, Adrian has turned his attention to the energy-food security nexus, particularly focusing on the development of low-carbon fertilizers and how this represents a valuable opportunity for developing countries.
