US fertiliser firm CF Industries – together with other US and Japanese partners – has unveiled plans for a $4bn integrated blue ammonia and CCUS plant in Louisiana.
Under a joint venture, CF Industries will hold 40% ownership and Japan’s JERA 35% and Mitsui & Co a quarter. Engineering firm Technip Energies will work with technology company Topsoe in installing the low carbon (blue) SynCOR ATR ammonia plant technology.
The project will be built at CF Industries’ Blue Point Complex, an autothermal reforming ammonia production facility with a CO2 dehydration and compression unit at the site to prepare captured CO2 for transportation and sequestration.
The low-carbon ammonia production facility will have an annual capacity of approximately 1.4 million tonnes, with production slated to start in 2029, and is expected to capture, compress and dehydrate approximately 2.3 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
