Lyngby/Denmark — UCC Shchekinoazot's new co-production plant is the first in the world to produce more methanol than ammonia Imap (Integrated Methanol and Ammonia Production) technology uses a process scheme that minimizes both capital expenditure and operating expenses as the conventional CO₂ removal and CO shift sections are not necessary. The UCC Shchekinoazot co-production plant is the first in the world to produce more methanol than ammonia.

Collaboration between UCC Shchekinoazot and Topsoe dates back to 2007 when the construction of the first methanol plant started — it was launched in 2011. In 2012, a hydrogen unit with the capacity of 26,000 Nm³/hr was built and commissioned.

UCC Shchekinoazot is currently implementing their third methanol production plant under Topsoe license with a capacity of 500,000 tons of methanol per year. The groundbreaking ceremony also took place at the official event on September 7.
