CF Industries has announced a joint venture with JERA Co., Inc. and Mitsui & Co., Inc. to construct a low-carbon ammonia production facility at its Blue Point Complex in Louisiana. This project, valued at $4 billion, aims to build the world's largest ammonia facility, utilizing autothermal reforming technology. The facility is expected to create over 100 permanent jobs and approximately 1,500 construction jobs during its buildout, with production slated to begin in 2029.

The joint venture represents a significant step towards establishing a reliable and affordable low-carbon ammonia value chain. This initiative is expected to meet the growing global demand for low-carbon ammonia, which plays a crucial role in utility and electricity generation. The project is part of CF Industries' broader strategy to expand its ammonia production capabilities, as it already produces 10 million tons of ammonia annually, the highest in the world.

CF Industries' partnership with JERA and Mitsui underscores the company's commitment to sustainable and innovative solutions in the ammonia production sector. The project is expected to enhance CF Industries' market position and contribute to the economic development of Ascension Parish, where the facility will be located. The company's 60th anniversary in Donaldsonville this year further highlights its long-standing presence and contributions to the region.
