CF Industries Holdings, Inc. and POET LLC have joined forces to introduce a pioneering collaboration to test the application of low-carbon ammonia fertilizer in corn and ethanol production. This innovative initiative aims to tackle the emissions intensity associated with conventional ammonia production, a significant contributor to corn and ethanol production's carbon footprint. By utilizing low-carbon ammonia, the carbon intensity of ethanol production can be reduced by up to 10%, aligning with the growing demand for lower-carbon fuel options. The companies are targeting the fall of 2024 for the initial deployment of low-carbon ammonia, with future applications planned for the spring of 2025 to yield the first crop by the fall of the same year. The collaboration includes developing a supply chain to monitor and certify the carbon intensity reduction achieved through low-carbon ammonia manufacturing at CF Industries' Donaldsonville Complex, ultimately benefiting farmers supplying corn to POET's bioprocessing plants. Notably, CF Industries is investing in green ammonia production by leveraging an electrolysis-based process that emits no carbon dioxide, alongside launching a carbon capture and sequestration project. This strategic partnership marks a significant step towards establishing a sustainable and low-carbon ethanol value chain, offering farmers a novel approach to enhance the environmental profile of their grain production.
