- Summary:
- Ammonia is one of the seven basic chemicals used to produce all other chemical products. It is the second most produced chemical by mass, after sulphuric acid. Around four-fifths of all ammonia is used to produce nitrogen fertilisers, such as urea and ammonium nitrate; as such, it supports food production for around half of the global population. While renewable ammonia's use as a carbon-free fuel and hydrogen carrier has been proposed, this has not yet been implemented at significant scale. Renewable ammonia has been produced at an industrial scale using hydropower since 1920; however, most ammonia today is produced from natural gas (72%) and coal (22%).
