EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A fertilizer company in southwest Indiana is moving forward with a $2.8 billion project with the help of state incentives and a new governor.

Midwest Fertilizer Co. will begin construction on its Posey County manufacturing facility next year, the Evansville Courier & Press reported . Construction is projected to support more than 2,500 jobs.

The state Economic Development Corp. has offered the company up to $2.9 million in conditional tax credits, up to $400,000 in training grants and up to $300,000 in conditional incentives. The performance-based incentives require the company to create jobs and invest in the state....

We already have a huge fertilizer plant in D.C. that serves the entire country. Why would they build another?

Just think, Ohio could of had all those jobs if Kasick was not such a royal A-hole. He coulda been VP.

That’s raw BS

This refines it.

In ‘08/’09 BP started their Whiting Modernization Project.

5 years $4.2 Billion. Biggest construction project in the US at the time.

At one time there were 14,000 men on the job.

$2.8 Billion... Means this is a big project.
This is a major project for the Midwest.
Will draw in a lot of guys from the surrounding areas

>I?"The facility is expected to be operation in 2022 and produce about 2 million tons of ammonia, urea ammonium nitrate solution and diesel exhaust fluid annually."

I get shipping the nitrates in water solution to impede explosions like the ones in West, Texas and OKC.

But "diesel exhaust fluid"???

Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is an aqueous urea solution made with 32.5% urea and 67.5% deionized water. It is standardised as AUS 32 (aqueous urea solution) in ISO 22241.[3] DEF is used as a consumable in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) in order to lower NOx concentration in the diesel exhaust emissions from diesel engines.

Thanks! Never heard of that application before.

So -- getting rid of the oxides of nitrogen from a lean burn -- by, instead, dumping a potload of water vapor and CO₂ into the air...

Both are "greenhouse gases". Wonder when the gorebul wahrumists are going to figure that one out...? LOL!
