There is considerable activity in the ammonia sector globally, with large-scale green and blue ammonia projects underway. Currently ammonia remains closely linked to natural gas prices. Ammonia is a key ingredient in producing several essential fertilisers. It serves as the primary feedstock for synthesising products like Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN), Urea, Ammonium Sulphate (Amsul), Ammonium Sulphate Nitrate (ASN), Mono-Ammonium Phosphate (MAP), and Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP).
These fertilisers are crucial for providing nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients, which are vital for plant growth and agricultural productivity. The ongoing developments in ammonia production and pricing directly impact the availability and cost of these fertilisers worldwide.
