Fertilizer companies race to build ammonia plants along
Gulf Coast
Fertilizer companies are leading the race to
build plants along the Gulf of Mexico to produce ammonia, a compound
mainly used for fertilizer, while capturing most of the carbon dioxide
emissions, Reuters reports.
The companies have focused on the Gulf Coast to take advantage of
Inflation Reduction Act subsidies and the existing export
infrastructure.
In Louisiana, CF Industries, the world’s largest ammonia producer, has
committed $285 million to enable existing plants in Louisiana and
Mississippi to process carbon before transporting it for
sequestration.
Also, Nutrien, a Canadian producer, is evaluating a site at Geismar,
where it already has a facility, to produce 1.2 million metric tons of
blue ammonia. It would partner with Denbury for carbon sequestration.
