The Blue Point Joint Venture

Henrik RasmussenLinda DempseyTeruya 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 CarsonIan RodwellBrett 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.
