Construction is underway at Blue Point One (#32 in map below), a low-carbon ammonia plant in Modeste, LA, billed by the joint venture’s partners — CF Industries (40%), JERA (35%) and Mitsui (25%) — as the world’s biggest of its kind. The plant will have an annual capacity of 1.4 million MT and is expected to begin production in 2029.
As discussed in this week's Hydrogen Billboard, the project’s $3.7 billion cost will be shared by the JV partners according to their ownership levels. In addition to the overall project cost, CF Industries is investing an additional $550 million over four years in shared, scalable infrastructure to position the site for future ammonia production and fertilizer upgrades.
