CF Industries is set to begin construction this month on its $4 billion Blue Point blue ammonia export project in Ascension Parish after receiving final construction permits, putting it on track for a 2029 start-up, reports Gas World.
The 1.4 million-ton-per-year Blue Point project, being developed alongside Japanese power and industrial majors Jera and Mitsui, is set to export volumes to Japan and supply CF’s own production network. CF said the State of Louisiana and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued civil construction permits for the ammonia plant and export infrastructure, clearing the way for work to begin in August.
The project is being developed by a joint venture 40% owned by CF, with Jera and Mitsui holding 35% and 25% stakes. All three have a stake in offtaking volumes from the plant relative to their equity investment. Read more from Gas World.
