Linde Signs Long-Term Agreement for Low-Carbon Ammonia Plant in Louisiana

Global industrial gases and engineering firm Linde said June 23 it has signed a long-term agreement with a major low-carbon ammonia plant in Louisiana.

The deal is with a joint venture named Blue Point Number One for on-site supply of oxygen and nitrogen gases to an upcoming low-carbon ammonia plant in Louisiana.

The agreement states Linde will invest $400 million for an air separation unit, which aims to produce 1.4 million metric tons annually. The plant is expected to begin operations in 2029.

The company said the air-separation unit will be the largest of its kind in Southeast Louisiana's Mississippi River corridor, strengthening its presence in the region and enhancing its existing hydrogen and syngas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in various ratios.

Blue Point Number One is a joint venture formed by CF Industries, JERA and Mitsui & Co.
