Default values by country of production for the nitrogen and phosphate goods MSE trades, with the structuring and bankability tools that sit around them.

Nitrogen & phosphate

Structure, test, price

The same three instruments used on every MSE mandate, applied to a fertilizer cargo, plus the calculation reference behind the carbon line.

Bankability Framework

The eligibility logic a lender applies to a fertilizer trade - knock-out gates, collateral control at each leg, and the six credit pillars - with a verdict and an indicative advance rate.

Technical note

Subtraction, Not Percentage

CBAM charges what is left after a deduction, and it is the deduction that phases out. The formula, the CBAM factor year by year, and the working capital a treasurer actually funds.

Annex I reference

Default values by origin

Annex I to the CBAM implementing regulation publishes an embedded-emissions default value for each good and each country of production. On urea the published values run from 1.25 to 3.68 tonnes of CO2e per tonne, against 2.72 for an origin with no row of its own. That spread decides where a nitrogen or phosphate cargo can still be bought once the certificate cost is added. Every figure below is read from the annex as published, not modelled.
