Ammonia production facilities provide the base ammonia used predominantly in fertilizers supplying usable nitrogen for agricultural productivity. Ammonia is one of the most abundantly-produced inorganic chemicals. There are literally dozens of large-scale ammonia production plants throughout the industrial world, some of which produce as much as 2,000 to 3,000 tons per day of ammonia in liquid form. The worldwide production in 2006 was 122,000,000 metric tons. China produced 32.0% of the worldwide production followed by India with 8.9%, Russia with 8.2%, and the United States with 6.5%. Without such massive production, our agriculturally-dependent civilization would face serious challenges.
