Tokyo, November 11, 2025 — Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has signed an EPC contract with SC Turkmenhimiya for the MHI Ammonia Urea Project in Turkmenistan. MHI partnered with the Turkish firm Gap Insaat for this large fertilizer complex. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 2, 2025, and the plant will begin operations in 2030.
Located in Kiyanly, Balkan province, near the Caspian Sea, the new plant will produce 2,000 metric tons of ammonia and 3,500 metric tons of urea each day. It will also include supporting utilities, offsite facilities, and product shipment systems. Importantly, the facility will use MHI’s Advanced KM CDR Process™ for CO₂ capture. This technology, developed with Kansai Electric Power, will improve energy efficiency and cut emissions.
Turkmenistan holds some of the world’s largest natural gas reserves. The country is now turning those resources into higher-value products. Through this project, Turkmenistan aims to increase fertilizer exports and strengthen its position in global markets. In addition, the project supports the country’s long-term goal of sustainable industrial growth.
MHI has a strong record in fertilizer projects. In 2018, it completed the Garabogaz Urea Plant with Mitsubishi Corporation and Gap Insaat. That facility continues stable operations and serves as a model for reliability and performance. This success helped MHI win the new MHI Ammonia Urea Project contract.
By combining experience and technology, MHI will deliver a modern and efficient fertilizer plant. The company continues to expand its global role by providing safe, clean, and sustainable production facilities.
