The Indian Farmers Fertiliser Co-Operative has been recovering since 2006 CO2 from natural gas-fired steam reformer flue gases at the Phulpur urea plant in Uttar Pradesh, India. The CO2 is captured at a rate of 450 tonnes a day before being compressed and re-used in urea synthesis. The plant uses Mitsubishi Heavy Industries proprietary KM CDR Process®.
Media reports in mid 2012 suggest the plant is still operative.
