RCF plans coal gasification project in Orissa

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers (RCF) has signed a memorandum of understanding with GAIL for setting up a coal gasification project at Talcher in Orissa.

The gas produced from the coal gasification plant will be used in the production of ammonia, urea and other chemicals.

The project will add production capacity of 11.55 lakh metric tonne of urea per year. The estimated cost of the ammonia-urea project is about Rs 3,200 crore. 

The department of fertilisers had entrusted RCF to revive closed fertiliser units at Talcher and Durgapur.
