ATOME CEO discusses appointment of construction engineer for Villeta green fertiliser project

Episode Summary

ATOME PLC (AIM:ATOM) CEO Olivier Mussat talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the appointment of Switzerland-based Casale as the engineering, procurement, and construction contractor for its 145-megawatt Villeta project in Paraguay. Mussat emphasised Casale's crucial role as the EPC contractor, highlighting their expertise in mid-sized fertilizer plants and legacy in ammonia technology. "They’ve delivered over 300 ammonia and fertiliser plants, making them a natural partner for us," Mussat said. He also discussed the appointment of Sam Mackilligan, who brings invaluable project management experience and deep familiarity with the Villeta project. The conversation covered the challenges of project financing, with positive signals emerging due to Paraguay’s new investment grade status. Despite the delays, Mussat expressed optimism, stating, "We are seeing all the good signals... a path to FID is clear." As ATOME heads into 2025, its focus remains on securing financing to advance Villeta. The company envisions this green industrial project as a groundbreaking model for future sustainable developments.
