CF Industries delivers first low-carbon ammonia

CF Industries delivers first low-carbon ammonia

Ammonia producer CF Industries says that it has shipped its first cargo of low-carbon ammonia from its Donaldsonville, Louisiana facility. The 23,500 tonne shipment was purchased by commodities specialist Trafigura to be used in Antwerp, Belgium by engineering materials firm Envalior in the production of low-carbon caprolactam.

The site has produced low-carbon – also called ‘blue’ – ammonia since July, when CF Industries built a carbon capture plant at the facility that can sequester up to two million metric tonnes of CO2 per year from ammonia production. The company expects to produce approximately 1.9 million t/a of ammonia from the site, verified under the Verified Ammonia Carbon Intensity programme.

Mining licence approved for Ammaroo phosphate project

Austrlai’s Northern Territories Government has approved a mining licence for Verdant Minerals’ Ammaroo phosphate project. The approval follows the granting of two mineral leases in March and represents a critical step towards construction and mining operations at one of the world’s largest phosphate resources. Verdant estimates the value of production over the life of the mine to exceed $15 billion. Verdant says that securing the mining licence puts the project firmly on track to reach a final investment decision and commence construction as early as mid-2027. Located 200 kilometres south-east of Tennant Creek, the Ammaroo phosphate deposit contains more than one billion tonnes of phosphate ore.
