Dortmund/Germany – Thyssenkrupp Uhde has been engaged by Proman to realize a 2200 metric tons/day ammonia plant in Topolobampo, Sinaloa (Mexico). It will be a state-of-the-art facility which optimizes CO2 emissions in the process. German financing through Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KFW) underscores the international collaboration and support driving this project. Thyssenkrupp Uhde will provide engineering and procurement services in addition to the uhde ammonia technology license and proprietary equipment.

David Cassidy, Chief Executive of Proman, said: “Proman is excited to be expanding into Mexico. We are already a significant producer of ammonia, and this new plant will increase our annual production capacity to 2.8 million tonnes at a time when fertilizers have a critical role to play in the agricultural sector in Mexico and for global food security. We have built strong relationships with local stakeholders and communities and look forward to a long-term future in Mexico.”

The project was thoroughly developed over several years, and the recent finalization and signing marks the commencement of this joint effort. Proman and Thyssenkrupp Uhde are poised to deliver on their promise to set new standards in efficient ammonia production, thus reaffirming their positions as industry leaders.

Ammonia is equally essential in tackling the challenge of producing enough food to feed a growing global population as it can be used to produce low-carbon fertilizers. At the moment, 80 % of the annual global ammonia production of over 170 million metric tons is used for fertilizer production. However, its use as an energy carrier for hydrogen looks set to dwarf this figure.
