Yara expands capacity in Köping, Sweden
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Oslo, 5 December 2014: The Board of Yara International ASA has approved an
investment of SEK 1,747 million (USD 220 million) to sustain and increase
technical ammonium nitrate (TAN) capacity in the Köping site in Sweden.
The investment includes the construction of a new nitric acid plant replacing an
existing plant which is approaching the end of its operating life. The total TAN
capacity after the upgrade will reach about 450 kt per annum.
"With this investment, Yara further strengthens its position as the largest
independent supplier of high quality TAN globally. After the expansion, Köping
will be well positioned to efficiently supply growing demand in Nordic markets
as well as continuing to supply global markets," says Torgeir Kvidal, President
and Chief Executive Officer of Yara International ASA.
The new plant will be based on state-of-the-art technology, improving energy
efficiency and further reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the Köping plant.
Construction will start in 2015, with completion expected in second half 2017.
