Sable Chemicals require $200m for gasification plant

TA Holdings group on Thursday said it required at least $200 million to replace the old hydro-electrolysis plant at Sable Chemicals.

Speaking during a shareholder briefing in Harare yesterday, company chairperson Shingai Mutasa said the company had recognised that the use of electrolysis to make hydro energy was very costly.

He said as a result the company had approved the switch over to coal gasification technology as a cost-cutting measure.
