KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is set to become a key fertiliser producer in the region with a proposed plant at the Sipitang Oil & Gas Industrial Park (Sogip). The plant will be set jointly by chemical giant the EuroChem Group and construction and technology firm Maire Tecnimont. The meeting took place following the decision by the Sabah Oil and Gas Development Corporation (SODGC) to accept the joint EuroChem and Maire Tecnimont investment proposal to develop a fertiliser plant at Sogip. At the meeting, Strezhnev and Folgiero explained their intention to develop a state-of-the-art nitrogen fertiliser plant and the next steps to be undertaken before any work on the project started. Strezhnev added that he believed the venture would benefit from Eurochem’s technological expertise especially in oil gas downstream industries.
