Collie, Western Australia-The Western Australia government will spend A$83.5 million over the next four years to secure land and upgrade vital water and road infrastructure for the massive A$3.5 billion Perdaman Chemicals & Fertilisers Collie Urea Project. At full production the plant will produce 2 million mt/y of urea. In related news, BOC Ltd. recently secured a long-term industrial gas supply contract valued at A$1 billion with Perdaman. BOC will supply nitrogen and oxygen over a 20-year period with an additional 5-year option to the Perdaman project, which will transform sub-bituminous coal into urea using clean coal gasification technology. The Collie project will take three years to complete and is expected to start construction in the third quarter of 2011, post the conclusion of Perdaman’s project financing.
