Production
In recent years, Uzbekistan’s chemical industry has entered a phase of rapid development. Joint Stock Company “Uzkimyosanoat,” which is at the heart of this industry, is actively involved not only in production and export potential but also in innovation, human capital development, and social responsibility, acting as a leading organization.
Today, the industry produces more than 170 types of chemical products.
Employees of the structural divisions of JSC “Uzkimyosanoat” have successfully mastered modern methods of cryogenic technology, electrochemistry, flotation processes, as well as the production of rubber-technical products, including automotive tires, agricultural machinery tires, and conveyor belts.
In addition, technologies for the production of high-demand products such as methyl chloride, dry cyanides, and acetic acid are being implemented. As new technologies are adopted, the range of localized products is expanding. In recent years, JSC “Uzkimyosanoat” has systematically carried out localization activities, resulting in the development of more than 20 new product types.
Global practice shows that industrial production has a certain negative impact on the environment and ecology. Therefore, our company implements a comprehensive set of measures to reduce the carbon footprint and minimize pollutant emissions.
Currently, work is underway to recycle technogenic waste — phosphogypsum — into sulfuric acid and cement. This will allow for the closure of the phosphorus fertilizer production cycle and significantly reduce the environmental burden.
The further development of the chemical industry is impossible without highly qualified personnel. In this regard, JSC “Uzkimyosanoat” carries out the selection and training of specialists, sending them to leading universities around the world and ensuring comprehensive professional development to train future professionals.
Depending on the type of products manufactured, production capacities are conventionally divided into the following complexes:
• production of complex and simple mineral fertilizers and inorganic substances, as well as reagents for the mining and chemical industries;
• production of organic compounds, synthetic fibers, and polymer materials;
• production of calcined soda and other substances.
The annual volume of chemical production in the industry exceeds 8.0 million tons, of which more than 3 million tons are mineral fertilizers. The main products include: ammonia, ammonium nitrate, urea, ammophos, superphosphate, ammonium sulfate, NPK fertilizers, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, sodium nitrate, cyanides, thiourea, caustic soda, calcined soda, methanol, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyacrylamide, and others.
JSC “Uzkimyosanoat” is also actively engaged in the implementation of innovative solutions, attracting international investments, training specialists, and ensuring environmental sustainability. Currently, the company is undergoing large-scale reforms aimed at diversifying production, increasing competitiveness, and implementing high-tech equipment.
Ecology
General situation in the industry
Currently, chemical industry enterprises generate, on average, three types of waste annually:
atmospheric emissions,
solid waste,
wastewater.
The Environmental and Green Economy Department of JSC “Uzkimyosanoat” is engaged in activities aimed at protecting the environment and rational use of natural resources at industry enterprises. In particular:
reduction of atmospheric emissions;
reduction of wastewater discharge volumes;
conservation of technical and drinking water;
reduction of waste volume;
disposal of generated waste;
landscaping and beautification.
Additionally, regular measures are developed to reduce environmental impact, and control is exercised to ensure that enterprises comply with environmental legislation.
Cooperation with International Organizations
As part of joint projects with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) and the Nitric Acid Climate Action Group (NACAG), projects are being implemented to reduce nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from nitric acid production. These projects are carried out on the basis of grants provided by GIZ.
As a result of cooperation with NACAG, significant reductions in nitrous oxide emissions (N₂O) in nitric acid production have been achieved.
Environmental Monitoring
At JSC “Maxam-Chirchiq,” modern stationary monitoring stations equipped with innovative ORTEK gas analyzers operating automatically have been installed. The data obtained from these stations are integrated into the platform of the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Integration with International Standards and GHG Accounting
In collaboration with the German company GIZ, regular training sessions are conducted at JSC “Uzkimyosanoat” and its affiliated enterprises on greenhouse gas emissions regulation and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
Negotiations are also ongoing with leading international companies and organizations within the CBAM framework.
Together with the Green Economy Center under the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Hydrometeorology Center under the Ministry of Ecology and Climate Change of Uzbekistan, work is underway to develop a unified (national or international) methodology for the identification, calculation, and inventory of greenhouse gases.
National Project “Green Space”
In accordance with the Presidential Decree No. PF-46 dated December 30, 2021, “On measures to accelerate landscaping efforts and organize more effective tree protection in the Republic,” JSC “Uzkimyosanoat” and its industry enterprises have actively participated in the national program within the framework of the ‘Green Space’ project. As a result, a total of 2.7 million ornamental and fruit trees and shrubs have been planted across 235 hectares of land.
