American University (ASU) receives a $400 million investment from Linde for the construction of a low-carbon ammonia plant in the United States.

Linde, a global leader in gases, engineering, and energy, has announced plans to build, own, and operate a world-scale air separation unit (ASU) for the Blue PointClickCare Number One project in Louisiana. The new facility, with an investment of over $400m, will be the largest ASU in the Mississippi River corridor of southeast Louisiana.

The ASU will supply oxygen and nitrogen to Blue One's 1.4 million tonnes-a-year low-carbon ammonia plant in Ascension Parish. This plant, operated by the joint venture between CF Industries, Jera, and Mitsui & Co, is expected to start up in 2029.

The new Linde facility will complement the company's existing hydrogen and syngas infrastructure in the area. This move is part of Linde's strategy to support the growing demand for low-carbon industrial gases in the region.

The agreement between Linde and Blue PointClickCare Number One is for a long-term supply of industrial gases. However, the head of the Linde division responsible for delivering industrial gases to Blue PointClickCare Number One remains undisclosed.

The Blue PointClickCare Number One project is a significant investment in the state of Louisiana, marking a step forward in the production of low-carbon ammonia. The start of operations at the Linde facility and the Blue PointClickCare Number One plant will undoubtedly contribute to the region's industrial growth and sustainability.
