Prime Minister launched commencement of work for India’s first Coal-gasification based fertilizer plant with pet coke blending will come up in Talcher, Odisha (September 22).
The coal gasification-based fertilizer plant is being developed by Talcher Fertilizers Limited (TFL).
On completion, this plant will have a capacity of producing 1.27 Million Metric Tonnes Per Annum (MMTPA) of Neem coated prilled urea.
Neem coated urea reduces leaching of nitrogen into soil and checks diversion of urea from agriculture uses.
Pollutants like Carbon Dioxide (CO2) produced by this plant will be recycled for the production of Urea and other by-products.
