Beaumont New Ammonia
The Beaumont New Ammonia Project, located in Beaumont Texas, achieved first ammonia production in December 2025, and is targeting commencement of lower-carbon ammonia production in 2027.[1][2]
Formerly the OCI Clean Ammonia project, Woodside acquired the project in September 2024 and renamed the project to Beaumont New Ammonia. Woodside assumed operational control of Beaumont New Ammonia in March 2026 following completion of performance testing and handover from OCI Global.
The potential applications for ammonia include power generation, marine fuels, and as an industrial feedstock.
Footnotes
1.Lower-carbon ammonia is characterised here by the use of hydrogen with emissions abated by carbon, capture, and storage (CCS), with an expected ammonia lifecycle (Scope 1, 2 and 3) carbon emissions intensity of 0.8 tCO₂/tNH₃ (based on contracted intensity threshold with Linde) relative to unabated ammonia with alifecycle (Scope 1, 2 and 3) carbon emissions intensity of 2.3 tCO₂/tNH₃ (Hydrogen Europe, 2023).
2. This is subject to commissioning of Linde’s facilities and start-up of ExxonMobil’s CCS infrastructure, including approval of the relevant CCS permitting process.
