Oil and gas junior Strike Energy has plans for a $2.3 billion fertiliser project capable of manufacturing three-quarters of Australia’s current urea demand have been unveiled. The project would use gas from its Perth basin project and convert it into fertiliser for the agricultural market. If the plant goes ahead, it will be capable of producing 1.4 million tonnes of urea per year for 30 years.

Perdaman Industries is also striving and working hard to complete its Burrup Urea project in the near future, which will see a total investment of $4.5 billion. The plant will be located in Karratha, Western Australia, and with a planned capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum, most of the urea produced by the plant will be exported via the Port and a 7km conveyor from the plant.
