Description
Yara Clean Ammonia and Enbridge announced a letter of intent in March 2023 to jointly develop and construct a blue ammonia production facility as equal partners. The proposed production and export facility, which includes autothermal reforming with carbon capture, will be located at the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center, near Corpus Christi, Texas.
Once operational, the production facility would have a capacity of 1.2–1.4 million tons per annum. If confirmed through the Front-end Engineering Design phase and approved, total project investment is expected in the range of US$2.6–US$2.9 billion.
Construction to begin Q3/Q4 2025 with service to begin in 2028.
Yara is expected to contract full offtake from the facility.
Enbridge’s Texas Eastern Transmission Pipeline is expected to provide the transportation service for feed gas that will be used for the production process, and Enbridge, along with Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, is advancing a nearby CO2 sequestration hub which is a potential destination for the project’s captured CO2.
According to local news reports, an ‘objectionable use’ permit for the facility was denied in a January 16th, 2024 Ingleside city council proceeding.
