Middle East Crisis Tests Viability of Low-Carbon Fertilizers

A recent crisis in the Middle East has disrupted global fertilizer supplies due to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, causing natural gas prices to skyrocket.

The blockade has physically blocked the export of large volumes of fertilizer produced in the region, which is heavily reliant on fossil fuels.

This has led to concerns about the feasibility of low-carbon mineral fertilizers that are not derived from fossil fuels.
