A nitrogen complex to be located at a remote site south of Lima is one of many projects that the Peruvian government would like to see developed in the coming years to use plentiful supplies of natural gas found in the country to help produce fertilizers, explosives for mining and other needs, and ethylene for plastics.
The CF Industries’ project, which will have extensive landside and port facilities, would be the company’s first plant in the Southern Hemisphere and a key addition since there currently is no nitrogen capacity on the west coast of South or North America. This new capacity will enable production of pelletized urea and liquid ammonia for Peru and other markets.
