CF takes write-down on green ammonia project

CF Industries has reported a $51 million impairment in its most recent accounts due to the abandoning of its 20MW green hydrogen facility at the company’s huge Donaldsonville, Louisiana fertilizer complex. The alkaline electrolysis unit had been planned to feed green hydrogen to produce up to 20,000 t/a of green ammonia. The company says that it will focus instead on more economically attractive blue ammonia production.
