CNC and N2000, alongside global partners, produce, market and distribute a low-cost, highly effective nitrogen-based fertilizer and a globally traded commodity.
Ammonia produced at CNC and N2000 is marketed exclusively by Koch Fertilizer International to customers located as far afield as Africa, Asia, North America and South America. The two plants on the Point Lisas Industrial Estate have a combined annual production capacity of 1.3 million metric tons, providing a valuable source of foreign exchange for Trinidad and Tobago.
Both plants use the Kellogg Advanced Ammonia Process (KAAP), at the time a cutting edge innovation in ammonia technology. There are currently seven KAAP plants in operation worldwide and five of these are located in Trinidad.
About 0.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) by-product from the plants is sold annually to other Point Lisas plants for use in methanol and urea production. This enables CNC and N2000 to contribute to reducing CO2 emissions in Trinidad, which was an important consideration during the development of the projects.
