Idaho DEQ issued the air permit to Magnida yesterday, for its greenfield plant in American Falls, ID.

They estimate total costs of $1.5 billion (although they’re still awaiting bids from KBR and Bechtel), with a capital structure of one third equity to two thirds debt. They say they already have the $500 million equity …

The plant’s nominal ammonia capacity is 2,500 short tons per day (828,000 metric tons per year); it will also produce urea, UAN, and DEF.
