Topsoe awarded contract to support FEED study for new low-carbon ammonia plant in Louisiana, US

Topsoe has announced a contract with CF Industries , the world’s largest producer of ammonia, for the licensing and engineering support for a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study of a new low-carbon ammonia plant in Louisiana, according to the company's release.
 
Topsoe will license its SynCOR Ammonia technology, which will use carbon capture and storage to produce low-carbon ammonia.
 
Topsoe will license its SynCOR Ammonia technology, to CF Industries that when combined with carbon capture & storage (CCS), enables the production of industry leading low-carbon ammonia.

Topsoe, a global leader in carbon emission reduction technologies, has signed a contract with CF Industries, the world’s largest producer of ammonia, for the licensing and engineering supporting a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study of a new low-carbon ammonia plant in Louisiana.

CF Industries is evaluating the project in collaboration with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., one of the leading ammonia marketers in the world. Were the project to move forward, it would produce low-carbon ammonia for use as a decarbonized energy source.

SynCORTM technology enables ammonia production as well as cost efficient carbon capture. SynCOR is Topsoe´s proprietary technology based on advanced autothermal reforming principles. Supported by 300 years of accumulative, safe operation, SynCOR is often the preferred technology for mega scale ammonia production, due to its maturity and low capital and operating costs.

Topsoe is a leading global provider of technology and solutions for the energy transition.
