ReaKeyState Nitrogen is a $3.5 billion capital project to provide more than 1,000,000 tons per year (tpy) of vital fertilizers and chemicals to Pennsylvania and a 15-state, Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region. Currently this region is without the production of essential hydrogen, ammonia, and urea products and is dependent upon international imports.

KeyState's proposed Clearfield County, PA facility will displace a majority of fertilizer imported into Eastern ports. Historically, this high cost, unpredictable supply has come from Russia and the Middle East.

KeyState has a sound business case, with competitive advantage in proximity to market and gas feedstock price with 60% of KeyState's production already committed under 10-year off take agreements.

The typical lifespan for US ammonia plants is more than 60 years. Historically, other chemical plants and related businesses relocate to be near major ammonia and fertilizer production facilities. Synergies with Pennsylvania's world-leading powdered metallurgy industry nearby are being explored. The implications for North-Central Pennsylvania are profound.
