Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Pampa Energía (Buenos Aires, Argentina), historically a power-generation company, plans to build a nitrogen fertilizer plant at the port of Bahía Blanca. The project is part of a broader effort to reduce Argentina's dependence on fertilizer imports.
The fertilizer development is set on a 70-hectare site and is managed by subsidiary Fertil Pampa. Argentine leaders hope the plant will make their country self-sufficient, as Argentina is seeing strong agricultural demand both domestically and internationally, especially from Brazil.
Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Chemical Processing Project and Plant databases can learn more about the Bahía Blanca development from a detailed project report and plant profile.
The new plant would be located near the Luis Piedra Buena Thermoelectric Power Station, which Pampa Energía operates in Ingeniero White. The new plant would leverage Argentina's abundant natural gas supply--both conventional gas and gas produced in Vaca Muerta--to convert it into nitrogen fertilizers. Subscribers can learn more about Luis Piedra Buena in a detailed plant profile.
Currently, a significant share of fertilizer sold in Argentina is imported. The only large-scale local producer, Profertil (Buenos Aires), is unable to meet domestic demand with its existing capacity.
Profertil was a joint venture between majority state-owned oil company YPF S.A. (Buenos Aires) and Nutrien (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan), until the latter recently sold its stake to local firm Adeco Agropecuaria SRL. This change in ownership has delayed the planned installation of a new production unit to double Profertil's production capacity. Subscribers can learn more from a detailed project report and plant profile.
