OCP Group, a Moroccan company, has signed a long-term agreement to receive sulphur supplies from the Abu Dhabi National Oil company (ADNOC), a state-owned Emirati firm, reports the National. Adnoc, known as the world's largest producers of sulphur and which supplied OCP with 2 million tones of the same compound last year had agreed with the Moroccan company to «consider a gradual increase of the contracted volumes of granulated sulphur through 2025», explains the same source quoting the Emirati firm. The oil company's important sulphur production is expected to increase due to its sour gas reserves which «after processing yields the yellowish chemical as a byproduct», according to the same source. Sulphur, a chemical element, is commercially used in the production of sulfuric acid for sulfate and phosphate fertilizers. For the record, OCP is one of the leading exporters of phosphate fertilizers in the world.
