CF targets blue ammonia market after signing CCS deal
US fertiliser firm aims to be first high-volume supplier of blue ammonia as it secures major CCS deal with ExxonMobil and Enlink
US hydrogen and fertiliser company CF Industries plans to become the world’s first high-volume supplier of blue ammonia after signing a deal to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure with US oil major ExxonMobil and Texas-based gas pipeline operator Enlink. The CCS project aims to capture and sequester up to 2mn t/yr of CO₂ from CF’s Ascension Parish manufacturing complex from early 2025. It will be pumped through Enlink’s network and permanently stored underground at a 125,000-acre site owned by ExxonMobil at Vermilion Parish, approximately 100 miles southwest of CF’s facility. CF says it will capture the CO₂ from its ammonia production process so that the product qualifies
