Coal for the installation will come from the Bogdanka mine, which produces about 5 million tons of coal per year. Recently, Zaklady Azotow and Lubelski Wegiel discussed prospects for the coal gasification project in order to cooperate in the area of coal processing for application in chemical production and power generation. The timeframe is about five years, and a project feasibility study would be prepared in coming months to determine details and financing.
Such coal gasification is one of the key projects included in Zaklady Azotow's business strategy for 2007-17, helping the company to diversify its supply raw material sources. The company has been the leader in Poland's fertilizers sector for more than 40 years and has products in the American market.
