About ATOME

 

ATOME PLC is an AIM listed company targeting green fertiliser production with
445-megawatt of projects in Paraguay and a further pipeline of potential
projects in Central America.

 

The first project is at Villeta in Paraguay. It benefits from a 145MW
renewable power purchase agreement and 30 hectares of land in a tax free zone.
Front End Engineering Design studies have been completed and Heads of Terms
signed with Yara, the leading international fertiliser company for offtake of
all of Villeta's production. The Company is now negotiating the project
finance with a view to closing that and declaring FID before end 2024. There
is a further 300MW of renewable power reserved for ATOME in Paraguay.

 

In Costa Rica, The National Ammonia Corporation S.A. was formed in 2022 with
local partner Cavendish S.A. based in Costa Rica to develop green fertiliser
projects for the region. As well as straddling the Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans, Costa Rica is a democratic Central American country. In agriculture,
Costa Rica is the second largest supplier of pineapples in the world and is in
the top ten banana growers.

 

All power for ATOME is from 100% renewable sources and all chosen sites are
located close to the power and water sources and export facilities to serve
significant domestic and then international demand.

 

The Company has a green-focused Board which is supported by major shareholders
including Peter Levine, Schroders, a leading fund manager, and Baker Hughes, a
global technology company operating in the energy and industry sectors.
