YOKOHAMA, Japan, November 13 (Itar-Tass) -- A Russian-Japanese-Chinese
agreement has been signed here in Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's
presence to build a one-billion-dlr-cost plant in Tatarstan to produce
carbamide fertilizers.
The Russian leader arrived in Japan on Friday to participate in the
APEC summit.
The contract to build a large fertilizer-producing plant, the first in
Russia over 20 years, was signed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the
Japanese company Sojitz, the Chinese Chemical Engineering Corporation
CNCEC and the Russian state-run company Ammony set up by Tatarstan's
government and VEB in 2006.
The project envisages that the plant will be put into operation in
2015. The capacities will allow producing ammonium and methanol from
natural gas at the same time.
The new plant will be built in the city of Mendeleyevsk located about
a thousand kilometres east of Moscow. It will produce 2,050 metric tonnes
of ammonium a day or 1,382 metric tonnes of ammonium and 668 metric tonnes
of methanol a day.
