NIIK participated in the 8th Congress and Exhibition "Nitrogen Syngas Russia & CIS 2025"
The annual congress and exhibition "Nitrogen Syngas Russia & CIS" is a unique, closed professional platform for discussing key issues in the development of syngas processing. The event brings together leading producers of nitrogen, methanol, ammonia, and mineral fertilizers from Russia and CIS countries.The event took place on May 21–22 in Moscow. During the session titled "Technological Progress in an Era of Change: Industry Resilience and Development", participants discussed current challenges and growth opportunities amid global transformations. The session opened with a series of presentations on investment project implementation under new conditions, the creation of new production capacities, and the modernization of existing ones. The main goal on this path is to reclaim technological leadership in the industry.
NIIK’s CEO, Oleg Drobotushchenko, delivered a presentation titled “Prospects for Urea Production in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus”. NIIK presented an analysis of production capacities and the consumption structure of urea, highlighted key limitations and growth points in the sector, and showcased the institute's proprietary technologies and solutions in urea production, along with modern research and development tools and methods.
Oleg Drobotushchenko: "The ammonia and urea production sector is rapidly aging. More than half of the facilities are in need of modernization, as they were commissioned over 50 years ago. The current level of diagnostics and repair work is insufficient—there is a pressing need for investment in qualitative upgrades and the construction of new facilities that leverage Russian scientific achievements."
Growth opportunities include expanding existing facilities, including through the participation of new market players. NIIK is actively involved in this process by developing proprietary technologies for Russia’s gas chemical industry and implementing them at domestic sites.
