Phosphates ammonial
■
▪
Ammonia is used to granulate phosphate products used in agriculture (DAP, MAP, & MicroEssentials)
The Company has three sources of ammonia:
1. Contract with CF Industries for a minimum of 540,000 tonnes and maximum of 720,000 tonnes annually, and up for renewal in 2025
These tonnes are generally taken pro rata through the year, and changes in volumes taken under the contract require a 90 day notice.
Contract pricing includes a capital charge component.
The company views this contract as a hedge.
2. Manufactured ammonia from Faustina, with an annual capacity of approximately 450,000 tonnes.
This is the company's lowest cost source of ammonia, generally 40 mm BTU's of natural gas plus $70 / tonne of ammonia conversion costs, including ~$10 / tonne
of depreciation.
3. Spot purchases to supplement the above sources.
