Partnering for Technology Deployment across Asia

Pupuk Indonesia and IHI conducted the country’s first successful ammonia coal co-firing demonstration this year in west Java, together with Indonesian utility PLN Indonesia Power. The partnership brings together two critical players in the Asian ammonia market: Pupuk – which owns and operates nearly 3% of total global ammonia production – and IHI – a world-leader in technology solutions for ammonia-fired power generation. Hear directly from two first mover organisations that will play a leading role in the ammonia energy transition in Asia and beyond.

The Blue Point Joint Venture

Henrik Rasmussen Linda Dempsey Teruya Asai

In April 2025, the partners made a final investment decision and agreed to a joint venture structure for the Blue Point mega-project in Louisiana: a $4 billion facility which will have a nameplate production capacity of around 1.4 million tons of CCS-based ammonia per year. Topsoe will provide its SynCOR Ammonia™ process (including autothermal technology and ammonia synthesis loop) for the project. Explore the journey to date for one of the world’s leading transitional ammonia production projects, and how all the partners have aligned for operations to commence in 2029.

Transforming Houston and the Gulf Coast for Ammonia Energy

Chad Carson Ian Rodwell Brett Perlman

The region is a hotbed of activity in the decarbonized ammonia and energy transition space, with project developers looking to leverage existing infrastructure, expertise and an experienced local workforce. This conversation features a number of organizations at the forefront of this regional movement. Join us on our opening afternoon to hear what makes the region an attractive prospect for developers, what local alliances & groups are doing to help streamline project development, and what future role Southeastern Texas and the wider Gulf Coast region can play as we move towards lower-carbon ammonia production.

CF Industries ships first low-carbon cargo to Europe

Julian Atchison October 06, 2025

23,500 tons of ammonia certified under the Fertilizer Institute’s Verified Ammonia Carbon Intensity (VACI) Program were loaded onto the Trafigura-operated Oceanic Star in Louisiana last month. The cargo is en route to Antwerp, where chemicals and materials manufacturer Envalior will use the low-carbon ammonia as a feedstock to produce the monomer caprolactam and downstream resins.

LSB and Lapis: retrofitting CCS to existing ammonia production in the USA

Julian Atchison

Meet LSB Industries and Lapis Carbon Solutions, partners in a CCS retrofit project at LSB’s existing ammonia production facility in El Dorado, Arkansas. Based on the annual production of 375,000 tons of ammonia, 450,000 tons per year of concentrated carbon dioxide per year will be sequestered from 2026 onward.

GoSolar Energy: renewable ammonia-based fertiliser production in northern Arizona

Geofrey Njovu August 19, 2025

GoSolar Energy’s industrial complex currently under development in northern Arizona will enable mega-scale CCS-based and renewable ammonia based fertiliser production for the local and export markets.

Gas-based reforming for low-emission ammonia production: ATR, POX, and two-step reforming

Kevin Rouwenhorst August 06, 2025

Current global ammonia production is mostly based on gas-fed, two-stage reforming processs. Decarbonization of this existing production capacity – as well as new newbuild low-emission capacity also based on gas – can utilize an industrially-proven suite of alternative technologies and processes, including autothermal reforming, and partial oxidation combined with CCS. This article discusses some of the technologies available from various tech providers, and reference projects in operation.

Pilbara clean fuel bunkering hub: a multi-party strategic roadmap

Geofrey Njovu July 13, 2025

A new strategy roadmap launched alongside the recent AEA APAC conference envisions Port Hedland in the Pilbara region as a major clean fuel bunkering hub. In news from roadmap partners, Oceania Maritime Energy and SeaTech Solutions have received approval in principle for their ammonia bunkering vessel design (also at the APAC conference), and BHP has signed time charter contracts for two ammonia dual fuel Newcastlemax bulk carriers to carry iron ore to northeast Asia.
