The Government of Guyana has officially launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) to establish a state-of-the-art ammonia and urea plant, aiming to produce approximately 300,000 tons of cost-effective fertiliser annually. This initiative, spearheaded by the Prime Minister’s office, seeks to address the high cost of fertilisers in Guyana and its neighboring regions, including northern Brazil and the Caribbean. The project, estimated to cost no more than $300 million, will operate under a public-private partnership model, utilizing 20 million standard cubic feet per day (MMCFD) of natural gas from the second phase of the Wales pipeline. The selected Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor will be responsible for securing a world-class licensor for the plant, which is slated for completion by 2027/2028, coinciding with the finalization of the gas-to-energy project. The plant will be strategically located in Wales, east of the combined cycle power plant and natural gas liquids facility. GAUP, the private company overseeing the project, will receive lean gas from Guyana Power and Gas Inc (GPGI), a wholly-owned government entity. Proposals must demonstrate prior EPC experience, detailed project schedules, financial projections, and a commitment to local content development. The Guyana government will facilitate the establishment of GAUP, secure financing, and manage contracts and permits, ensuring the project is structured on a Project Finance basis.
