CF Industries signs MOU to supply Japan’s JERA with clean ammonia

CF Industries has signed a memorandum of understanding – MOU – with JERA, Japan’s largest energy generator, regarding the supply of up to 500,000 metric tons per year of clean ammonia beginning in 2027. The clean ammonia, which will be required to be produced with at least 60% lower carbon emissions than conventionally produced ammonia, will be co-fired with coal at JERA’s Hekinan Thermal Power Station in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the facility. The MOU establishes a framework for the companies to assess how CF Industries would best supply JERA with clean ammonia under a long-term offtake agreement. Since 2020, CF Industries has advanced projects to decarbonize its ammonia production network and position the company to supply a substantial volume of clean ammonia within the next few years.
