Yara International, through its U.S. subsidiary Yara North America, Inc., has acquired the Gulf Coast Ammonias ammonia production facility in Texas City, Texas, from GCA Holdings LLC for $1.3 billion. The plant has a 1.3 million metric ton capacity and is expected to ramp up to stable operations by the end of 2026. The acquisition includes the ammonia synthesis loop, storage, and loading infrastructure, with hydrogen and nitrogen supply secured through a long-term agreement with Air Products. This acquisition enhances Yara's operational resilience and U.S. gas exposure, with potential for future decarbonization and low-carbon ammonia production.
