N&sub2;O is 298 times more potent than CO&sub2; as a greenhouse gas
Fertilizer production is one of the largest industrial sources of N&sub2;O emissions. CBAM covers nitrogen-based fertilizers from January 2026. Ceres makes sure everyone knows the real numbers.
The Myth
Ceres was the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, and fertility. When her daughter Proserpina was taken to the underworld, Ceres made the entire earth barren in grief — creating winter. She was nurturing, generous, and absolutely devastating when provoked.
In DWS IQ 6, Ceres governs agriculture and fertilizers. She tracks CBAM nitrogen-based fertilizer declarations, N&sub2;O emissions, CSRD farm-to-gate Scope 3 reporting, and the EU Deforestation Regulation. Nurturing but unsparing. Growth without compliance is unaccounted cost.
"N&sub2;O is 298× more potent than CO&sub2;. Growth without compliance equals unaccounted cost. I say uncomfortable truths."
— Ceres, appearing from nowhere with a basket of Finnish pulla and a CBAM form
The Harvest Fields
CBAM Fertilizers
Nitrogen-based fertilizer carbon declarations. Ammonia, urea, nitric acid. Embedded emissions per tonne. Quarterly reporting.
N&sub2;O Emissions
298× GWP. Nitric acid production, agricultural application, industrial processes. The silent climate bomb.
Farm-to-Gate Scope 3
CSRD supply chain reporting for agri-food. Upstream emissions from farming, processing, and transport. ESRS E1 disclosure.
Deforestation Regulation
EUDR compliance. Geolocation data for commodities. Due diligence for soy, palm, cattle, cocoa, coffee, rubber, timber.
Agricultural CSRD
Sector-specific sustainability reporting. Biodiversity impact, water usage, soil health. ESRS E4 integration.
Pastry Distribution
Appears from nowhere with Finnish pulla during every crisis. Efficiency: 100%. Nobody questions it. Not technically a compliance capability. Essential anyway.
