Hydrogen – ATOME completes FEED for green fertiliser project paving way for final investment decision.
ATOME PLC (AIM:ATOM) CEO Olivier Mussat discusses the completion of the front-end engineering design (FEED) for the company’s green fertiliser project in Villeta, Paraguay, with Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion.
Mussat said the milestone is significant as it marks the first time a large green fertiliser facility has been fully designed from an engineering perspective. He explained that this achievement demonstrates the company’s capability to integrate hydrogen and fertilizer plant designs into a viable engineering solution, a process that took 18 months. This step is crucial for gaining the confidence of funders and off-takers, who require assurance that the engineering meets high standards.
Looking forward, ATOME aims to progress from the FEED stage to an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract, which will enable it to finalise detailed engineering and make a final investment decision this year. It is also negotiating offtake agreements to ensure long-term partnerships for selling the product.
Mussat said the successful completion of this project will serve as a blueprint for future projects, including a similar venture in Costa Rica.
e highlighted the extensive effort involved, noting nearly 100,000 hours of engineering work, and acknowledged the support from partners including AECOM.
