Construction
nia and methanol production facility in
Alberta, Canada. The $2.5-B project will
use natural gas to produce 200 tpy of blue
ammonia and blue methanol, which will
be exported to demand centers primarily
in Asia. The capital-intensive project,
which took advantage of Alberta's Petrochemicals
Incentive Program, is scheduled
to begin operations in 2026.
Oxy Low Carbon Ventures and
Squamish Huron Clean Energy Corp.
have awarded a contract to Worley to
conduct early FEED on an air captureto-fuels
facility. To be built in British
Columbia, the facility will use Carbon
Engineering's Direct Air Capture and
AIR TO FUELS technologies to capture
CO2
from the atmosphere and convert
it into ultra-low carbon fuel. Construction
is scheduled to begin in 2023. Once
operations commence in 2026, the plant
will produce up to 100 MMl/yr of fuel.
Arbios, a JV between Canfor and
Licella Holdings Ltd., plans to build a
plant that will convert sawmill residues
into biofuels. The project is being developed
at Canfor's Intercontinental Pulp
Mill site in Prince George, British Columbia.
The plant will convert 25,000 t of
wood residue into more than 50,000 t of
biocrude, which can be further processed
into low-carbon transportation fuels. The
Arbios plant is scheduled to begin operations
in 1H 2023.
LATIN AMERICA
In early November 2021, Sempra Energy
announced plans to build a second
LNG export terminal on the Pacific Coast.
The Vista Pacifico LNG terminal will be in
Topolobampo, Mexico, on the Gulf of California.
The 3 MMtpy-4 MMtpy terminal
will receive natural gas feedstock from the
Permian shale basin in Texas (U.S.).
MIDDLE EAST
Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC)
and ADQ signed a partnership
agreement with Mitsui & Co. and GS
Energy Corp. to develop the U.A.E.'s first
blue ammonia project. The project, which
will produce ammonia from nitrogen and
clean hydrogen derived from natural gas
feedstocks, will be in the TA'ZIZ Industrial
Chemicals Zone in Ruwais.
ADNOC also signed an agreement
with Borealis AG to develop the Borouge
4 project in Ruwais. The $6.2-B project
will expand the existing Borouge complex
by adding a fourth ethane cracker and
downstream facilities. The 1.5-MMtpy
ethane cracker will provide feedstock to
two 700,000-tpy PE plants. The project
also includes a hexene-1 unit and carbon
capture. Once completed in 2025,
Borouge will become the world's largest
single-site polyolefin complex.
U.S.
Renewable Energy Group awarded
an EPCM contract to Wood Group for
its
renewable fuels expansion and improvement
project. The $950-MM project-located
in Geismar, Louisiana-
will expand the facility's capacity by
250 MMgpy. Mechanical completion is
scheduled to be completed by 2023, with
full operations beginning in 2024.

$5.1 B to build two gas-to-liquids (GTL)
plants. The company is developing a $2.8B
GTL plant in Trenton, North Dakota.
The facility will use domestically-sourced
natural gas to produce 24,000 bpd of ultra-low-sulfur
diesel, along with Group 3
base oils, jet fuel and naphtha. Phase 1 development
is scheduled to begin in early
2023. The company is also developing a
similar facility in El Reno, Oklahoma. The
$2.35-B plant will use natural gas to produce
ultra-low-carbon fuels.
In Garner, Iowa, Greenfield Nitrogen
is building the first green ammonia
plant in the U.S. Midwest. The 240-tpd
facility will use renewable feedstock to
produce green ammonia for domestic
use. Greenfield Nitrogen is working
with NextChem, MET Development
and Stamicarbon, subsidiaries of Maire
Tecnimont, to develop the project.
NextChem will
