Socar Carbamide aims for full production capacity in 2025

Socar Carbamide, a subsidiary of Azerbaijan’s state oil and gas company Socar, plans to reach its maximum annual production capacity of 660,000 tons of urea in 2025, according to Shohrat Mirzoyev, head of the plant’s production department.

The facility produced 652,000 tons in 2024, bringing it close to its design limit. Commissioned in January 2019, the plant operates on 435 million cubic meters of natural gas annually. The total investment in the project reached €800 million.

Socar Carbamide supplies both the domestic market and exports to other CIS countries and neighboring regions.

The company’s expansion in urea production aligns with Azerbaijan’s broader strategy to develop value-added fertilizer exports and strengthen its position in the regional market.
