CF Industries is at the forefront of ammonia production, utilizing the Haber-Bosch process, a significant innovation that synthesizes ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. This method, developed by Fritz Haber and further refined by Carl Bosch, allows for the large-scale production of ammonia, which is essential for creating fertilizers that enhance food production globally. The company operates several large ammonia production complexes, including the Donaldsonville Complex in Louisiana, which is the largest in the world, and others in Canada, Iowa, and the UK. The use of ammonia and its derivatives not only supports agricultural productivity but also plays a role in emissions control and various industrial applications.

In addition to its core ammonia production, CF Industries is committed to sustainability and clean energy initiatives. The company is investing in low-carbon ammonia production and collaborating with industry leaders to support the transition to a clean energy economy. Their strategy is underpinned by comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, reflecting a commitment to addressing climate change. Safety is also a paramount concern, with a strong culture emphasizing a "Do It Right" mentality to ensure a safe working environment for all employees. Through these efforts, CF Industries aims to contribute significantly to global food security while minimizing environmental impact.
