Project YaREN: Blue ammonia at Ingleside
Project YaREN is being developed by Enbridge and Yara Clean Ammonia through their joint venture Ingleside Clean Ammonia Partners (ICAP). The proposed ammonia production facility, which includes autothermal reforming with carbon capture, will be located at the Enbridge Ingleside Energy Center (EIEC) near Corpus Christi, TX.
The name “YaREN” is a combination of the two company names. “Ren” is also the Norwegian word for “clean,” a reflection of the blue ammonia process being implemented at the facility.
Project YaREN will file permit applications for a total production capacity of 2.8 million metric tons (MMT) of ammonia per year, which would be split between two 1.4 MMT production units. The project investment to build the first unit is expected in the range of US$2.6–$2.9 billion, with production start-up anticipated in 2028. An estimated 95% of the carbon dioxide generated from the ammonia production process is anticipated to be captured and transported to nearby permanent geologic storage in South Texas.
Enbridge and Yara’s combined complementary strengths will be critical to advancing the project from development through to commercial operation. Yara is a global industry-leader in ammonia development, production, operations, and distribution, while Enbridge has large-scale infrastructure development expertise and world-class deep-water docks and export platform at EIEC.
In addition, Yara, the world's largest ammonia distributor, is expected to contract full offtake from the facility, which further enhances the strategic value and commercial viability of the project.
The construction of any facilities will be subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
