Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entity | . Variable Interest Entity On April 8, 2025, we announced that we formed a joint venture, Blue Point Number One, LLC, with JERA Co., Inc. (JERA), Japan’s largest energy company, and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Mitsui), a leading global investment and trading company, for the construction, production and offtake of low-carbon ammonia (the Blue Point joint venture). We hold 40% ownership, JERA holds 35% ownership, and Mitsui holds 25% ownership in the Blue Point joint venture. Under the terms of the Blue Point joint venture’s limited liability company agreement, JERA has a conditional option to reduce its ownership percentage that expires on December 31, 2025. If the specified condition is met, JERA can reduce its ownership below 35% but not lower than 20%. We would have the right and obligation to increase our ownership by the same amount that JERA reduces its ownership. At our Blue Point complex in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, the Blue Point joint venture is expected to construct an autothermal reforming (ATR) ammonia production facility with a carbon dioxide (CO 2) dehydration and compression unit to prepare captured CO 2 for transportation and sequestration. Engineering, equipment procurement and pre-construction activities at our Blue Point complex began in the second quarter of 2025. Construction of the ammonia production facility is expected to begin in 2026, with low-carbon ammonia production expected to begin in 2029. We are responsible for the development, construction, operation and maintenance of the ammonia production facility under contracts with the Blue Point joint venture. We, JERA and Mitsui are required to purchase low-carbon ammonia produced by the Blue Point joint venture in accordance with our respective ownership percentages once production commences. Pursuant to periodic capital calls, the Blue Point joint venture members will fund the cost of the facility’s engineering, procurement and construction according to their respective ownership percentages. During the third quarter of 2025, we, JERA and Mitsui made capital contributions of $38 million, $33 million and $23 million, respectively, to the Blue Point joint venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we, JERA and Mitsui made capital contributions of $195 million, $170 million and $121 million, respectively, to the Blue Point joint venture. We funded $152 million of our contributions with cash and $43 million through a non-cash contribution of a license to use certain intellectual property. In addition, we will build scalable infrastructure at our Blue Point complex to supply the ammonia production facility with services, including product storage and vessel loading. We determined that the Blue Point joint venture is a variable interest entity (VIE) of which we are the primary beneficiary. We have a significant variable interest in the Blue Point joint venture through our 40% equity interest. We are considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE as we have both the power to direct the day-to-day operations of the low-carbon ammonia production facility, which are the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, due to our 40% equity interest. As a result, we consolidate this VIE in our consolidated financial statements, with the combined 60% equity interest owned by JERA and Mitsui recorded as noncontrolling interest. The table below summarizes the assets and liabilities of the Blue Point joint venture included in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025:

As of September 30, 2025, all assets of the Blue Point joint venture can only be used to settle the obligations of the Blue Point joint venture. In addition, as of September 30, 2025, all liabilities of the Blue Point joint venture are payable to creditors who do not have recourse to the general credit of CF Holdings. CF Holdings has provided guarantees for certain financial commitments of the Blue Point joint venture to several third-party vendors; however, as of September 30, 2025, no liabilities had been incurred by the Blue Point joint venture to these third-party vendors.
