Slide № 4

1. Construction of ammonia and urea production complex at Navoiyazot OJSC

Slide № 5

Project goal — further development and modernisation of

mineral fertilisers production capacities due to introduction of up-

to-date, energy-efficient technologies instead of physically and

morally obsolete production, which will promote the increase in

exports potential of chemical industry of the Republic of

Uzbekistan.

Within the frames of this project implementation, the

establishing of an enterprise with foreign investments is stipulated

with equal shares of Uzbek and foreign parties in the authorised

fund.

There are all necessary raw materials (natural gas) in the

country for establishing of production.

1. Construction of ammonia and urea production complex at Navoiyazot OJSC

Slide № 6

Project goal — introduction of up-to-date, energy-efficient technologies on ammonia and urea production instead of physically and morally obsolete productions at Navoiyazot OJSC.

Project advantages:

•availability of all necessary raw materials in the country;

•availability of necessary infrastructure;

•demand for the finished product (urea) in domestic and foreign markets;

•availability of skilled personnel.

Slide № 7

1. Construction of ammonia and urea production complex at Navoiyazot OJSC

Capacities, being established:

— ammonia 660 000 t per year

— urea 600 000 t per year

Planned share of exports: 70 %

Created jobs: 513 pieces

Period of project implementation:2012—2015

Project cost and estimated payback periodwill be determined after development ofproject's preliminary feasibility study.

2. Creation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and caustic soda production complex at Navoiyazot OJSC

Slide № 8

Project goal — creation of import-substituting polyvinyl chloride and

caustic soda productions to supply domestic consumers in construction,

electro-technical, medical, petrochemical and chemical industries, as

well as increase in export potential and localisation of output of basic

feedstock to manufacture polymer products.

Main feedstock for PVC and caustic soda production is natural gas

and technical salt.

The supply for new production with

water, heat, oxygen, nitrogen and

production infrastructure is carried out by

engineering networks, being created

within the production complex, from

existing networks of Navoiyazot OJSC.

2. Creation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and caustic soda production complex at Navoiyazot OJSC

Slide № 9

Taking into consideration

1. tendency of annual demand growth for both PVC and caustic soda;

2. possibility to substitute a significant share of imported wood materials by PVC goods;

3. planned exports of finished products

the establishing of polyvinyl chloride production with the annual capacity of 100 000 tonnes is being worked at.
