The President of Uzbekistan discusses plans for developing a strategic partnership with Air Products

As part of his working visit to New York City, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting with Eduardo Menezes, Chief Executive Officer of Air Products.

Air Products specializes in the production and supply of industrial gases. The company’s market capitalization exceeds $63 billion. It produces 200 million tons of industrial gases annually in more than 50 countries and operates a network of around 750 production facilities.

The meeting focused on the practical aspects of expanding mutually beneficial cooperation with one of the leading international companies actively investing in the creation of high-tech industrial enterprises in Uzbekistan.

At present, the company’s investments in Uzbekistan have exceeded $1 billion. Projects already implemented include industrial gas processing at the GTL plant, hydrogen production at the Fergana Oil Refinery, liquid carbon dioxide production at Navoiazot, and the establishment of a shock-freezing center.

Agreements were reached on accelerating the implementation of projects for the construction of a gas-chemical complex in Bukhara, coal gasification, and the production of environmentally friendly aviation fuel.

Following the meeting, the adoption of a roadmap for advancing cooperation projects was agreed upon.
