New Analysis: Impact of Sustainability on the Fertilizer Sector

Nexant Energy and Chemicals Advisory Special Reports program publishes a new report on 'Impact of Sustainability on the Fertilizer Sector'

Fertilizers are essential for human life, but are increasingly criticized by sustainability movements for the negative impacts on the environment of their production, transport, and use.  In order to comply with sustainability goals and mandates, key questions must be addressed by the sector and its manufacturers. The business fundamentals are changing quickly, with demand being destroyed and product preferences shifting, causing threats and creating opportunities.
