The bankable feasibility study (BFS) for blue ammonia producer Suiso’s R31.5-billion coal-to-fertiliser and methanol project in Kriel, Mpumalanga, was completed earlier this month. The study was carried out through engineering services firm Wuhuan Engineering. With the BFS complete, basic engineering for the project will start in February, to be followed by the start of construction next year. The plant is slated to be fully operational and fired up in 2029.
