The UK fertiliser market is a relatively mysterious affair, with typically little interest from those uninvolved. So much so that in September 2021 main stream media branded some fertiliser manufacturers as CO2 suppliers, a by-product of fertiliser production. For those within the agricultural industry, however, conversations about nitrogen fertilisers have become a painful affair over the last 7 months. Ammonium Nitrate (NH4 NO3), the UK agriculture’s most widely used fertiliser, is produced through the Haber-Bosch process which utilises natural gas as a feedstock to produce ammonia, which is manufactured into nitrogen fertilisers. This is an energy intensive process.
