Ammonia - Future Prospects

Future prospects

Ammonia will continue to be important for agriculture and for the whole nitrogen chemicals industry. As countries in Asia and Latin America develop high standards of living and stronger economies, they will begin to need their own ammonia plants. For this reason, capacity and production will continue to grow. New uses may develop, particularly for ammonia as a relatively inexpensive base with unique properties, for liquid ammonia as a solvent, and as a storage medium for hydrogen, as the nations evolve toward alternative fuels.
