NAIF funding for Australia’s first SoP plant

The Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) will invest A$74-million in Australia’s first plant to produce sulphate of potash (SoP). ASX-listed Kalium Lakes is developing the A$250-million Beyondie SoP project, which will produce 150 000 t/y SoP, with the option to incrementally phase the project through a ramp-up from 75 000 t/y to 150 000 t/y to minimise operational and financial risks.
