Nitrogen fertilizers are made from ammonia (NH 3) produced by the Haber-Bosch process. In this energy-intensive process, natural gas (CH 4) usually supplies the hydrogen, and the nitrogen (N 2) is derived from the air. This ammonia is used as a feedstock for all other nitrogen fertilizers, such as anhydrous ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3) and urea (CO(NH 2) 2).
