MOSCOW (ICIS news)--Russia's state-controlled Vnesheconombank (VEB) said on Friday it plans to acquire a stake in the country’s OAO Ammonia and invest $800m in the construction of its new ammonia, urea and methanol facilities.

 

The new facilities in Mendeleyevsk would have a total capacity of about 1.5m tonnes/year, the bank said, adding Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries would supply equipment for the project.

 

The acquisition would allow VEB to become a strategic investor in OAO Ammonia, while the size of the stake to be acquired remained to be negotiated, the bank said. The Russian internal republic of Tatarstan would retain no less than a 10% stake in OAO Ammonia, it added.
