About this episode

Olivier Mussat discusses ATOME's $665 million financing package for the Villeta Project and its implications for growth and food security.

ATOME PLC (AIM:ATOM) CEO Olivier Mussat spoke to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s landmark $665 million financing package for its Villeta low-carbon fertiliser project in Paraguay and why it marks a major inflexion point for growth. Mussat discussed backing from major development finance institutions, ATOME’s move to increase project ownership, and a “transformational” partnership with Casale to support future execution. He also outlined construction timing, how management fees could help fund expansion, and why supply chain disruption makes this as much a food security story as a green energy one.
