PepsiCo’s European agricultural supply chain uses over 600,000 tonnes of fertilisers annually, with emissions from synthetic fertilisers split roughly equally between manufacturing and in-field losses such as NOx gases and nutrient runoff. To address this, PepsiCo partnered with CCm Technologies to use its ultra-low carbon fertilisers, which significantly reduce emissions. This has enabled PepsiCo to report zero manufacturing emissions for the fertilisers used in growing potatoes for their UK Walkers crisps, supporting their efforts to reduce Scope 3 emissions. CCm is also working with Google Cloud to enhance the accuracy and transparency of emissions data across the entire fertiliser lifecycle.
The ultra-low carbon fertilisers, verified by the Carbon Trust, reduce manufacturing emissions by 1.44 tonnes of CO₂e per tonne compared to synthetic alternatives and cut in-field emissions by approximately 50%, according to Fera Science and Mirico. In PepsiCo’s case, this presents an opportunity to reduce more than 864,000 tonnes of CO₂e annually in Europe alone.
CCm's technology converts captured CO2 and other waste streams (such as Ammonia and Phosphate) into stable value-added materials with multiple uses across global priority sectors of agriculture, wastewater treatment (sewage), food production, and waste. The technology produces sustainable fertiliser in a net-zero process and provides many health benefits to the soil when applied to land. The fertiliser can be applied at a 20% reduced application rate and still achieves equivalent yield as conventional fertilisers.
