Gulf Coast Ammonia LLC said Jan. 8 that its new plant, which is planned for Texas, will have a capacity of 1.3 million mt/y. This is up from earlier filings that had indicated a possible capacity of 750,000 mt/y (GM Oct. 12, 2018). Plans have been in the works since at least 2015 (GM May 25, 2015).
As earlier reported, GCA says it has closed on nonrecourse project financing for the plant. The company says construction will begin in early 2020 with commissioning expected in the first half of 2023.
