Evening - Phosphate project reaches key stage
The article discusses the signing of two contracts between Sonatrach Complex and Italian and Chinese companies as part of the integrated phosphate project in Algeria. This project is considered one of the strategic initiatives to enhance the country's position as a regional and international hub for the production and processing of phosphates, fertilizers, and chemical products. The project's goal is to establish facilities for the production of upgraded phosphate and fertilizers, with an estimated capacity of about 6 million tons of upgraded phosphate and 4 million tons of fertilizers annually, in addition to industrial materials such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and ammonia. This supports food security and promotes export revenues outside the hydrocarbon sector. The initial production of upgraded phosphate is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2027, followed by fertilizer production in the last quarter of the same year. Linking mining resources with engineering and transportation enhances the project's sustainability, which relies on technological partnerships and productive investment, with a focus on knowledge transfer and developing national expertise. This project is a crucial step toward achieving high added value and strengthening the national economy, anticipated to generate employment opportunities and increase Algeria's exports, all while adhering to high quality standards and safety in implementation.
