Fertilisers are Jordan's primary CBAM-covered export — potassium nitrate and urea to EU markets.
Jordan is a significant phosphate and nitrogen fertiliser producer, with Arab Potash Company and Jordan Phosphate Mines Company among the principal exporters. Urea and potassium nitrate are exported to EU markets. Jordan's DB shows no grey cement or ammonia defaults — fertilisers are the dominant CBAM-relevant sector.

Net cost = default tCO₂e/t × €75.28 (Q2 2026, official price of CBAM certificates) × CBAM phase-in factor (2.5% in 2026, 48.5% in 2030). Actual liability depends on verified embedded emissions and SEFA benchmark deduction. Values shown are for illustrative default scenario only.
Carbon pricing in Jordan: Jordan does not operate a domestic carbon pricing mechanism applicable to CBAM-covered goods.
No qualifying carbon price applies to Jordanian production. Full CBAM certificate costs apply to verified embedded emissions above the SEFA benchmark.
For fertiliser exporters, the CBAM functional unit calculation includes an N-content attribution step under IR 2025/2547. Producers of multi-nutrient products should verify attributed emissions per unit of product. Jordan's urea default (1.47 tCO₂e/t) is mid-range for the region.
