EU fertilizer industry bets millions on controversial tech | Transforming Business

In the Netherlands, a major carbon capture and storage project aims to trap millions of tons of CO₂ from fertilizer production and lock it deep underground. Supporters say projects like this could help keep European industry competitive while cutting emissions. Critics argue CCS is expensive, unproven at scale, and risks delaying the transition away from fossil fuels. So, is carbon capture a climate solution, a lifeline for European manufacturing, or both? #dwbusiness
