About ATOME
ATOME PLC is an AIM listed company targeting
green fertiliser production with 445-megawatt of projects in
Paraguay and a further pipeline of potential projects in Central
America.
Since its admission to AIM in December 2021
ATOME signed a 145MW power purchase agreement with ANDE, the state
energy company in Paraguay for acquired 30 hectares of land in
Villeta, Paraguay for that facility, mandated Natixis Corporate
& Investment Banking and the multilateral IDB Invest to lead
the project funding and with Front End Engineering and Design
studies currently underway with the international companies Urbas
and Casale. ANDE has also allocated a further 300MW for ATOME's
second project subject to studies.
In Costa Rica, The
National Ammonia Corporation S.A. has been formed to develop green
fertiliser projects for the region. As well as straddling the
Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, Costa Rica is a democratic Central
American country. In agriculture, Costa Rica is the second largest
supplier of pineapples in the world and is in the top ten banana
growers.
ATOME is in the process of operational
planning, sourcing and negotiations with green electricity
suppliers, equipment providers and offtake partners, including
signed memoranda of understanding and cooperation agreements in
place with key parties, to produce green fertiliser at an
industrial scale using electricity generated from hydroelectric
power in Paraguay and Costa Rica. All chosen sites are located
close to the power and water sources and export facilities to serve
significant domestic and then international demand.
The Company has a green-focused Board which is
supported by major shareholders including Peter Levine, Schroders,
a leading fund manager, and since May 2023, Baker Hughes, a global
energy technology company operating in the energy and industry
sectors.
