The proposed facility will be integrated with existing CSBP facilities located in the KIA and will use natural gas sourced from the Dampier-Bunbury natural gas pipeline for its ammonia production, according to the EPA. The proposal has associated scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions of up to 539,003 t/yr of CO2 equivalent during operations and the expected life of the project is 35 years.

CSBP is a major ammonia supplier located in WA. They have a current production capacity of up to 255,000 t/yr, mainly used as raw material for their downstream chemical and fertilizer products, as well as for supply to the domestic market.
