Envision Delivers Low-Carbon Ammonia Environmental Attribute Certificates to PepsiCo APAC, Pioneering Decarbonization in the Fertilizer Industry

Published

SHANGHAI, July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On July 30th 2026, Envision Energy, a global leader in green technology, announced a low carbon ammonia environmental attribute purchase agreement with PepsiCo APAC and completed delivery of the first 1,000 tonnes of low carbon ammonia environmental attribute certificates (EACs). The EACs are being issued and managed through S3 Markets’ environmental attribute registry. Based on the preliminary estimates, the attributes associated with these certificates could correspond to an estimated emissions reduction opportunity of approximately 5,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent.             

The transaction is intended to support emerging efforts to reduce emissions associated with fertilizer production by connecting verified low-carbon ammonia production with downstream demand, to support Scope 3 emissions reduction efforts, even before physical low carbon ammonia supply chains are available at scale.

Under the agreement, from 2026 to 2030, Envision will supply PepsiCo APAC with EACs associated with low carbon ammonia produced at its Chifeng Net Zero Industrial Park-the largest green hydrogen project in the world. The agreement is intended to support PepsiCo APAC’s Scope 3 emissions reduction efforts across its supply chain and provide an innovative pathway to decarbonize fertilizer use in its agricultural value chain.

Ammonia is a key feedstock in fertilizer production and is widely used to manufacture products including urea, ammonium nitrate, monoammonium phosphate, and diammonium phosphate. Today, most ammonia used by the fertilizer industry is produced through conventional coal- and natural gas-based processes, both of which are highly carbon-intensive. As a result, ammonia is a significant source of emissions across agricultural supply chains and the broader food and consumer goods value chain. Transitioning ammonia from a high-carbon to a low-carbon feedstock is therefore a critical lever for decarbonization for both fertilizer producers and downstream brands.

A key innovation of the agreement is the application of the Book & Claim model, already used in sectors such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), to low-carbon ammonia EACs. Under this approach, the physical product is decoupled from its environmental attributes, allowing low-carbon ammonia produced in Chifeng to generate traceable EACs that may be allocated to PepsiCo APAC without the need to physically transport the product over long distances. The EACs are being issued and managed through S3 Markets’ environmental attribute registry, which supports the issuance, tracking, allocation, and retirement of low-carbon ammonia environmental attributes. By linking each certificate to relevant production, emissions, sales, and retirement documentation, the system is designed to create an auditable chain of custody, strengthen claim integrity, and support credible downstream claims.

“Commodity-linked EAC markets will only scale if the infrastructure is as credible as the underlying low-carbon production,” said Saman Baghestani, Co-Founder and CEO of S3 Markets. “This transaction is a leading example of that approach, combining verified production, clear attribute ownership, and auditable registry records to support credible downstream claims.”

For PepsiCo APAC the EACs are intended to support Scope 3 emissions reduction accounting, subject to evolving guidance and claims requirements in applicable standards and internal controls within its agricultural supply chain. Compared with relying solely on the cross-regional transport of physical low carbon ammonia, this approach may reduce both logistics-related costs and associated emissions, while enabling environmental attributes to flow more efficiently across the fertilizer, farming, food processing, and consumer brand value chain.

“Emissions associated with fertilizer are often a significant component of Scope 3 emissions in the food and agriculture value chain, yet they are also among the most difficult and fragmented to address,” said Fred Li, Supply Chain Senior Vice President, PepsiCo APAC & Greater China. “This agreement with Envision is intended to support our efforts to address emissions associated with upstream agricultural inputs more efficiently, without changing our existing procurement or production arrangements.”

“This is another important example of PepsiCo Positive (pep+) in action. The agreement supports our ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner[1] and provides an innovative way to support our efforts to address emissions associated with key agricultural supply chain hotspots. We look forward to working with third parties such as Envision to help drive sustainability across the value chain—from field to shelf”, said Ashley Brown, Chief Sustainability Officer of PepsiCo APAC & India.

“Our collaboration with PepsiCo APAC marks a significant step forward in Envision’s green hydrogen and ammonia business model innovation,” said Frank Yu, Senior Vice President of Envision Energy. “The fertilizer industry consumes significant volumes of ammonia and represents substantial decarbonization potential. The value of the Book & Claim model for green ammonia EACs is that it allows environmental attributes to be matched with genuine decarbonization demand more efficiently and flexibly, without requiring the physical product to be transported over long distances. Envision will continue to unlock the value of wind and solar resources through pathways including green electricity, green hydrogen, green ammonia, and EACs, helping customers across multiple industry sectors achieve decarbonization more cost-effectively.”

UGREEN Named Official Charging Partner of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2026

By

LONDON, 22 September 2026 /PRNewswire/ — UGREEN, a leading global tech brand, has become the Official Charging Partner of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2026, taking place on 27 September. Throughout the event, UGREEN will provide free charging services to runners, supporters and spectators at the MARATHON EXPO by BRITA at Tempelhof Airport and in the Finish-Line Village near the Brandenburg Gate.

Power For Every Step

A marathon weekend runs on more than legs. Runners track their pace, supporters follow runners across the city, and families stay connected between the start line and the Brandenburg Gate. Much of it depends on devices staying powered, from the first kilometre to the finish and throughout the long hours before and after the race.

Power For Every Step is how UGREEN describes that role. The brand’s products already travel with people from the daily commute to journeys further afield. The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON extends that role into sport, where reliable power matters at the moments people need it most.

MagFlow: charging built for the way people move

At the centre of UGREEN’s presence is the MagFlow series, the magnetic charging line the brand introduced at IFA 2026 and now brings to Berlin.

Moving from 15W to Qi2 25W raises charging power by nearly 70%, and with it, thermal demands. Heat buildup can trigger throttling, slow charging and affect battery health. The MagFlow lineup addresses this directly: the MagFlow Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10000mAh 25W is the world’s first Qi2 25W magnetic power bank with active micro-pump liquid cooling, pairing UGREEN’s CryoPulse™ system with VC copper heat-spreading foil and ThermalGuard™ automatic power regulation. A transparent window shows the coolant circulating.

For a weekend spent moving between the expo, hotel, and course, MagFlow attaches securely, charges without cables, and keeps charging even during demanding phone use such as navigation, filming, and activity tracking.

Selected UGREEN products and technologies will be on display at the booth, where visitors can try them directly.

At the EXPO: recharge, play, and leave your mark

A full day at the MARATHON EXPO by BRITA can quickly drain a phone battery. At the UGREEN Charging Station, visitors can recharge their devices free of charge, discover selected UGREEN products, and purchase them on site.

Visitors can also take part in two interactive activities. At the UGREEN Magnetic Toss Game, they can test their aim for a chance to win a UGREEN prize. At the UGREEN UGC Wall, runners and supporters can leave a race wish, motivational message, or marathon memory, then take a photo and share it with the running community.

On race day: the moment, and the recovery

UGREEN will also be on site on Sunday. After crossing the finish line, runners can capture their finish line moment and visit the Stretching & Charging Station to recover while their devices recharge too.
