Leigh Creek Energy Ltd., Adelaide, South Australia, this week changed its name to NeuRizer. The rebranding was approved by shareholders at a general meeting last week and is believed by the company to be a better reflection of its vision and business.
NeuRizer plans to establish a 1 million mt/y urea facility utilizing in-situ gasification (ISG) at the formerly known Leigh Creek Energy Project, located some 550 kilometers north of Adelaide and overlaying the Leigh Creek coalfield (GM Jan. 22, 2021). The project is now known as the NeuRizer project.
“Neu” relates to a new way of producing urea using a net zero carbon footprint, while the “Rizer” is associated with the crops that are dependent on urea for their growth and which rise from the ground when adequately fertilized.
The company in February reported that its urea project had become the first large-scale fertilizer project in the world to achieve Carbon Neutral status (GM Feb. 11, p. 35).
