Hongkong – The fourth urea plant will use sand coal as a major raw material and utilize a number of leading production technologies, including coal slurry gasification technology, steam-driven compression technology, ammonia waste treatment processes, low energy technology, frequency control and other environmental protection and energy-saving technologies for domestic coal and chemical processes.

Mr. Liu Xingxu, Chairman and CEO of the Group, commented, “When the fourth plant comes on stream, the Group will be equipped with annual urea production capacity of more than 2 million. Our production technology will thus be further enhanced and operating costs will be further cut. With greater economies of scale and cost efficiency, we are set to experience robust business expansion, which enables us to deliver better returns to shareholders. Meanwhile, we secure stable coal supply after the acquisition of a premier coal mine in Xinjiang. And our fifth plant in Xinjiang is currently under construction.”
