JERA and Mitsui committed to purchase their ownership shares of Blue Point One production for power generation, steel production and other applications, creating demand beyond agriculture. PepsiCo became the first disclosed customer for low-carbon upgraded products through its purchase of low-carbon UAN, while CF Industries continues discussions with existing and potential customers regarding long-term offtake and joint investments.
Key facts
- Once production commences, we, JERA and Mitsui are required to purchase low-carbon ammonia produced by the Blue Point One joint venture in accordance with our respective ownership percentages. source
- Customer advances were $11 million as of June 30, 2026 and $77 million as of December 31, 2025 on the consolidated balance sheets. source
- We will own and operate the Common Facilities and the Blue Point One joint venture will compensate us for these services. source
- Under forward sales programs, a customer may delay delivery due to weather or other factors and such delays generally subject the customer to potential charges for storage or may be grounds for termination of the contract by us. source
- We currently offer forward sales allowing customers to purchase products on a forward basis at prices and delivery dates we propose, which can cause reported selling prices and margins to differ from market spot prices at time of shipment. source
- Customer advances are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as a current liability until control transfers and revenue is recognized. source
