Industrial gas major Linde has signed a new long-term agreement to supply industrial gases to Blue Point Number One, a joint venture between clean energy business CF Industries, Japan’s Jera, and Japanese investment and trading business Mitsui & Co in Louisiana.

Under the terms, Linde will supply industrial gases to Blue Point’s 1.4 million tonnes-a-year low-carbon ammonia plant in Ascension Parish.

Linde will build, own and operate a world-scale air separation unit (ASU) to supply oxygen and nitrogen to the project, and invest more than $400m in the on-site plant, which is expected to start up in 2029.

The new facility will be the largest ASU in the Mississippi River corridor of southeast Louisiana, complementing Linde’s existing strong hydrogen and syngas infrastructure in the area.
