October 08, 2025 [Yahoo Finance]- CF recently announced shipment of 23,500 metric tons of certified low-carbon ammonia from its Donaldsonville, LA, facility.

 
The shipment was purchased by Trafigura, a global commodities market leader. It is destined for Antwerp, Belgium, for supply to Envalior, a leader in Engineering Materials. The low-carbon ammonia will be used in the production of low-carbon caprolactam.

The ammonia is certified under the Verified Ammonia Carbon Intensity (VACI) Program, which confirms a significantly lower well-to-gate carbon footprint than conventional natural gas-based ammonia production. The VACI Program is developed by The Fertilizer Institute to certify greenhouse gas emissions by calculating the carbon intensity of the facility’s ammonia production.

The milestone marked CF Industries’ first low-carbon premium offering to Europe. The partnership of the three market leaders helped develop a low-carbon ammonia supply chain prior to the implementation of the European Union’s carbon border adjustment mechanism. The companies also share a vision to develop low-carbon solutions for industrial use.

CF Industries’ Donaldsonville Complex has a carbon capture and storage project set to sequester up to 2 million metric tons of CO2 annually, enabling the production of VACI-certified low-carbon ammonia. It is expected to produce 1.9 million tons per year and can also be used to upgrade into low-carbon nitrogen fertilizer products.

CF’s shares have gained 8.5% over the past year compared with the industry’s 27.2% rise.
