Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Signs EPC Contract for Major Ammonia and Urea Complex in Turkmenistan
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Signs EPC Contract for Major Ammonia and Urea Complex in Turkmenistan
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has signed an EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract with Turkmenistan's state chemical company SC Turkmenhimiya to build the country's largest ammonia and urea production complex. The project is being executed jointly with Turkey-based GAP İnşaat, and the groundbreaking ceremony was held on November 2, 2025, with the participation of Turkmenistan's President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.
The new facility will be located on the Caspian Sea shore in the Kiyanly region of Balkan state and is planned to commence operations in 2030.
Turkmenistan's Largest Fertilizer Plant
Upon completion, the project will represent the largest capacity ever achieved in the country's chemical and fertilizer industry. The complex's daily production capacity comprises:
2,000 tons of ammonia,
3,500 tons of urea.
This volume is designed to support both domestic consumption and export. Turkmenistan gains a strategic advantage in regional fertilizer production thanks to its substantial natural gas reserves.
Project Scope
The EPC work conducted by MHI and GAP encompasses:
basic and detailed engineering of the facility,
equipment procurement,
construction,
commissioning,
auxiliary facilities,
offsite utilities,
temporary scaffolding, transportation and product loading systems
and related works.
MHI assumes primary responsibility for engineering and equipment procurement, while Mitsubishi Corporation will provide support to the project.
CO₂ Capture Unit for Low-Carbon Production
The facility will incorporate Advanced KM CDR Process™ carbon capture technology developed jointly by MHI and Kansai Electric Power. This technology enables the capture and reuse of a significant portion of CO₂ from the production process or its secure management, thereby reducing the facility's environmental impact.
This approach is critical for fertilizer exports that comply with carbon footprint criteria gaining prominence in both European and Asian markets.
MHI's Track Record in Turkmenistan
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries previously completed a similar fertilizer facility in Garabogaz in 2018 in collaboration with Mitsubishi Corporation and GAP. The Garabogaz plant has operated stably since then, demonstrating MHI's credentials as a reliable engineering partner in Turkmenistan's chemical industry projects.
The new Kiyanly project represents a new chapter in MHI's collaboration with Turkmenistan in the chemical and fertilizer sectors. It also reinforces GAP İnşaat's capacity for infrastructure and industrial facility construction in the region.
