The Ingleside city council last week unanimously denied a permit submitted for a permit submitted by Enbridge and Yara Clean Ammonia, according to local news reports.
An ‘objectionable use’ permit was denied after local residents came out in force against the project, the report notes.
As announced, the proposed project would have an expected blue ammonia production capacity of 1.2–1.4 million tons per annum.
Approximately 95% of the carbon dioxide generated from the production process is anticipated to be captured and transported to nearby permanent geologic storage. If confirmed through the Front-end Engineering Design (FEED) phase and approved, total project investment is expected in the range of US$2.6–US$2.9 billion, with production start-up in 2027/2028, the companies said in a 2023 news release.
