What is the significance of CF Industries' new low-carbon UAN fertilizer in relation to PepsiCo's potato supply chain?

CF Industries has launched its first commercial certified low-carbon urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) fertilizer in partnership with PepsiCo to reduce the carbon footprint of PepsiCo’s potato supply chain; this UAN is produced using carbon capture, sequestration, and other emission reduction methods at CF’s Donaldsonville facility in Louisiana, and is certified by the Verified Ammonia Carbon Intensity Program.

How does the use of low-carbon UAN support farmers’ operational continuity while cutting emissions?

The low-carbon UAN provides farmers with the same level of nutrient supply as conventional fertilizer, enabling them to maintain yields and quality without requiring operational changes—yet it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, since fertilizer production accounts for 15–20% of emissions in potato farming.
