This notable project aims to capture up to 98 percent of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from its processes, and will provide a cost-effective, scalable pathway to supply carbon-free energy. Within the scope of the project, additional technologies are being explored which could result in zero-carbon or even carbonnegative hydrogen-ammonia production at the facility.
