Project Profile
Value: US$1299 million
Capacity: 2,000 tons of ammonia and 1,750 tons of urea
Location: about 300 km north of Luanda, Soyo, Zaire Province, Angola
Start-up year: 2015
The ammonia and urea plant will be constructed in Soyo, Zaire Province, about 300 km north of Luanda, Angola’s capital. Construction including production and shipping facilities is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2015. The planned daily production capacity is 2,000 tons of ammonia and 1,750 tons of urea. The plant will effectively utilize excess natural gas supplied to an LNG plant under construction in Soyo. Angola is dependent on fertilizer imports, and this is an important project that will contribute to a switch to domestic production through the effective use of domestic natural gas.
