Linde to invest $400m in ASU for US low-carbon ammonia plant
Industrial gas major Linde has signed a new long-term agreement to supply industrial gases to Blue Point Number One, a joint venture between clean energy business CF Industries, Japan’s Jera, and Japanese investment and trading business Mitsui & Co in Louisiana.
