Topsoe awarded contract to support study for new US low carbon ammonia plant

HOUSTON (ICIS)–Global technology provider Topsoe has signed a contract with fertilizer producer CF Industries for support on a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study for a proposed low-carbon ammonia plant in Louisiana.

Topsoe said it will license its SynCOR ammonia technology to CF which when combined with carbon capture and storage will enable the production of low-carbon ammonia.

Currently CF is evaluating development of the plant project in collaboration with ammonia marketer Mitsui & Co. If the project advances, it is intended to create low-carbon ammonia for use as a decarbonized energy source.

“We believe low-carbon ammonia helps unlock the door towards a net zero future. Our technology offers a cost-effective route to producing low carbon ammonia while also enabling carbon capture, at industrial proven scale,” said Henrik Rasmussen, Topsoe, managing director, the Americas.

“CF and Topsoe have a long-standing relationship spanning many decades and we are proud to extend our collaboration with this award.”
