CF Industries and POET have joined forces to introduce low-carbon ammonia fertilizer in corn production to lower the carbon intensity of ethanol. Traditional ammonia production contributes significantly to the carbon footprint of both corn and ethanol production processes. By utilizing low-carbon ammonia, the carbon intensity of ethanol can be reduced by as much as 10%. The collaboration aims to implement the new fertilizer by fall 2024, with subsequent applications planned for spring 2025, leading to the first harvest in 2025. Both companies emphasize the importance of building a sustainable and eco-friendly ethanol value chain that connects low-carbon fertilizers to farmers and ethanol production. By using low-carbon ammonia, they aim to meet the rising demand for ethanol with reduced carbon intensity, in line with low-carbon fuel standards. The project involves creating a low-carbon fertilizer supply chain that will trace, validate, and certify the reduction in carbon intensity achieved through the use of low-carbon ammonia manufactured at CF Industries' Donaldsonville Complex in Louisiana and during ethanol production at POET's facilities in various locations. This initiative will also involve educating corn producers about their farm's carbon score and how it could impact the value of their grain. For the upcoming low-carbon ammonia applications, the companies will utilize green ammonia produced using hydrogen from an electrolysis-based process with no carbon dioxide emissions. CF Industries has installed a 20MW electrolyzer at its Donaldsonville Complex and plans to purchase renewable energy certificates to enable green ammonia production. Additionally, CF Industries will introduce more low-carbon ammonia in 2025 with the launch of a large-scale carbon capture and sequestration project at the Donaldsonville Complex. Overall, this collaboration aims to promote sustainability in ethanol production by introducing low-carbon fertilizers, educating farmers on carbon impact, and creating a transparent supply chain to reduce carbon intensity in corn and ethanol production.
