Yara and
Enbridge to develop and construct a low-carbon blue ammonia
project at Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center
Yara Clean Ammonia, a
Yara International ASA company, and Enbridge Inc. signed a
letter of intent to develop and construct jointly a world-scale
low-carbon blue ammonia production facility as equal partners. The
proposed facility, which includes autothermal reforming with carbon
capture, will be located at the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center (EIEC)
near Corpus Christi, Texas.
Once operational, the
production facility will be capable of supplying low-carbon ammonia to
meet growing global demand, with an expected capacity of 1.2–1.4
million tons per annum. Approximately 95% of the CO2generated
from the production process is anticipated to be captured and
transported to nearby permanent geologic storage. If confirmed through
the Front-end Engineering Design (FEED) phase and approved, total
project investment is expected in the range of US$2.6–US$2.9 billion,
with production start-up in 2027/2028.
Enbridge and Yara
will utilize their complementary strengths to develop and execute the
project. Yara’s industry-leading experience in ammonia development,
production, operations and distribution, combined with Enbridge’s
large-scale infrastructure development expertise and world-class EIEC
deep water docks and export platform, will be critical to advancing
the project from development through to commercial operation.
In addition, Yara,
the world’s largest ammonia distributor, is expected to contract full
offtake from the facility, which further enhances the strategic value
and commercial viability of the project.
Enbridge’s Texas
Eastern Transmission Pipeline is expected to provide the
transportation service for feed gas that will be used for the
production process, and Enbridge, along with Oxy Low Carbon Ventures,
is advancing a nearby CO2 sequestration
hub which is a potential destination for the project’s captured CO2.
The construction of
any facilities will be subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory
approvals.
Yara Clean Ammonia
operates the largest global ammonia network with 15 ships and access
to 18 ammonia terminals and multiple ammonia production and
consumption sites across the world, through Yara International. Yara
Clean Ammonia’s revenues and EBITDA for 2022 were US$4,428 million and
US$249 million respectively. Yara Clean Ammonia is headquartered in
Oslo, Norway.
