thyssenkrupp to Develop 20-MW Alkaline Water Electrolyzer for CF Industries’ Green Ammonia Project in Louisiana
Key Ideas
  • thyssenkrupp to develop a 20-MW alkaline water electrolyzer for CF Industries' green ammonia project in Donaldsville, Louisiana.
  • CF Industries will use carbon-free hydrogen generated by the electrolysis plant to produce 20,000 tons of green ammonia annually.
  • Construction is set to start in the second half of 2021 and be completed by 2023, with CF Industries managing the construction.
  • The project showcases a move towards carbon-free energy and highlights the increasing importance of hydrogen as a clean fuel and enabler for carbon reduction.
Technology firm thyssenkrupp is set to develop a 20-MW alkaline water electrolyzer for CF Industries Holdings’ green ammonia project in Donaldsville, Louisiana. While thyssenkrupp will handle the engineering and procurement aspects, CF Industries will manage the construction. This initiative aims to integrate carbon-free hydrogen into existing ammonia synthesis loops, allowing for the production of 20,000 tons of green ammonia annually. CF Industries plans to use renewable energy purchased across its network to power the electrolyzer, which will separate water into carbon-free hydrogen and oxygen. The project aligns with CF Industries' commitment to reducing its carbon footprint by 2030. With the increasing emphasis on carbon reduction and net-zero goals, hydrogen is gaining traction as a key element in meeting global energy needs. The use of ammonia as a clean fuel further enhances its role in the transition towards sustainable energy. This project marks a significant step towards a cleaner and more sustainable future in the manufacturing sector.
