PSEEZ Firm to Produce Eco-Friendly Urea Fertilizer

Domestic companies have started operations to develop Pardis Petrochemical Company at the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone in the southern Bushehr Province to increase urea production capacity by 1 million tons, a deputy manager at the company said.
“The project entails the construction of a unit to produce eco-friendly urea fertilizer by mixing carbon dioxide with ammonia,” Mohammad Ali Soleimani was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Estimated to cost $350 million, the new unit is expected to reduce Co2 emissions in the region by at least 800,000 tons per year, he added.
The research and development unit of Pardis Petrochemical Company, in collaboration with the researchers of the Faculty of Modern Sciences and Technologies, University of Tehran, has succeeded in using carbon dioxide to make the new commodity that will be mass produced.
