据ICIS网站6月4日消息 化肥巨头欧洲化学公司（EuroChem）本周同意为在俄罗斯西北部新建一座氨和尿素工厂提供资金，资本支出为16亿美元。
该厂预计将于2024年投产，氨产量将达到110万吨/年，尿素产量将达到140万吨/年。
该西北2号设施将建在欧洲化学在Kingisepp运营的现有化肥厂。
该项目此前预计2023年建成。
总部位于瑞士的欧洲化学在本周的圣彼得堡国际经济论坛上与VEB.RF、Sberbank、VTB、Gazprombank和Otkritie签署了该项目的贷款协议。
欧洲化学在俄罗斯的子公司总经理Vladimir Rashevsky表示：“这是欧洲化学第一次与俄罗斯银行实施这样一个项目，而且首次实现了80:20的债务股本比。”
2019年投产的100万吨/年欧洲化学西北1号氨厂的产量被该集团在比利时、立陶宛的业务以及邻近的Kingisepp磷肥设施消耗。
作为承购安排的一部分，挪威化肥巨头雅拉每月也会从爱沙尼亚的锡拉马港提货。
目前尚不清楚新的合成氨厂是否会有剩余的产量可供出售，或者是否会全部被邻近的尿素装置和Kingisepp的其他业务消耗。

EuroChem new ammonia, urea plant to start up in 2024
Fertilizers major EuroChem agreed this week financing for the construction of a new ammonia and urea plant in northwest Russia, with capital expenditure (capex) at $1.6bn.
Expected to start up in 2024, the plant will produce up to 1.1m tonnes/year of ammonia and 1.4m tonnes/year of urea.
The North-West-2 facility will be built at an existing fertilizers complex operated by EuroChem in Kingisepp
The project was previously expected for 2023.
Switzerland-headquartered EuroChem signed the loans for the project with VEB.RF, Sberbank, VTB, Gazprombank, and Otkritie at this week's St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
"This is the first time that EuroChem is implementing such a project with Russian banks, and for the first time a debt-to-equity ratio of 80:20 has been achieved," said Vladimir Rashevsky, general director at EuroChem's subsidiary in Russia.
Output from the 2019-commissioned 1m tonne/year EuroChem North-West-1 ammonia plant is consumed by the group’s operations in Belgium, Lithuania, and its adjacent phosphate fertilizer facility at Kingisepp.
Norwegian fertilizer major Yara also lifts volume from the Estonia port of Sillamae each month as part of an offtake arrangement.
It is unclear if the new ammonia plant will have any surplus volume for sale, or if it will all be consumed by the adjacent urea unit and other operations at Kingisepp.
