Trafigura, CF Industries, and TFG Marine Collaborate on Low-Carbon Ammonia Supply Chain
Trafigura, CF Industries, and TFG Marine have signed a memorandum of understanding to create a global supply chain for low-carbon ammonia as a marine fuel, targeting the US Gulf and northwest Europe. CF Industries will utilize its facility in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, for production, while Trafigura aims to operate six ammonia-fueled vessels by 2030, building on their previous collaborations. The initiative emphasizes the importance of developing bunkering infrastructure and vessel adoption for the successful implementation of ammonia as a marine fuel.

Trafigura, CF Industries, and TFG Marine signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a global supply chain for low-carbon ammonia as a marine fuel, focusing on the US Gulf and northwest Europe. CF Industries will leverage its Donaldsonville, Louisiana, facility to produce low-carbon ammonia.
The partnership aims to facilitate market supply, stakeholder engagement, and bunkering logistics. Trafigura plans to have six ammonia-fueled vessels by 2030 and currently has four gas carriers on order for delivery by 2028.
The agreement builds on previous collaboration between CF and Trafigura, including a shipment of certified low-carbon ammonia to Europe. The development of ammonia as a marine fuel depends on the establishment of bunkering infrastructure and vessel adoption.
