The European Commission is drafting a plan to redirect funds from the Emissions Trading System (ETS) to help farmers manage rising fertilizer costs. The proposal aims to support a shift toward organic and bio-based alternatives as geopolitical tensions disrupt traditional natural gas-based fertilizer production. This move may cause tension between energy-intensive industries paying into the carbon market and the agricultural sector, which has largely remained exempt from ETS requirements but is now set to receive its financial benefits.
