Denmark-based technology provider Topsoe announced on May 1 that it has been awarded a contract to support the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study for a low carbon ammonia plant in Louisiana that CF Industries Holdings Inc. is evaluating in collaboration with Mitsui & Co. Ltd.
Topsoe will license its SynCOR Ammonia™ technology to CF for the project. The technology enables the production of low-carbon ammonia when combined with carbon capture and storage.
CF and Mistui have proposed a $3 billion low-carbon ammonia plant at CF’s Blue Point Complex in Louisiana (GM Feb. 16, p. 1; Aug. 19, 2022). The partners have opted for additional FEED studies before making a final investment decision (FID). The plant is expected to generate 1.7 million mt/y of blue ammonia.
