Half a year ago when commodity Price was very high, I read an article
about the price of fertilizer that are from mineral would go up
because there were only a few places that exported one of the

"fertilizer component"
(the word "Russian company" somehow comes to my
mind). This creates a semi-monoply situation. And they were talking
about double or triple the price of that fertilizer component.

Haber process
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

The Haber process, also called the Haber*Bosch process, is the nitrogen
fixation reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen, over an iron catalyst, to
produce ammonia.[1][2][3] The Haber process is important because ammonia
is difficult to produce on an industrial scale, and the fertilizer
generated from the ammonia is responsible for sustaining one-third of
the Earth's population.[4] Even though 78.1% of the air we breathe is
nitrogen, the gas is relatively unreactive because nitrogen molecules
are held together by strong triple bonds. It was not until the early
20th century that this method was developed to harness the atmospheric
abundance of nitrogen to create ammonia, which can then be oxidized to
make the nitrates and nitrites essential for the production of nitrate
fertilizer and munitions.

.. . . Prior to the use of NATURAL gas as a hydrogen source, electricity
was used to electrolyse water. . .

For our purposes, it is better known as "chemfert" (chemical
fertilizer). It is best known for killing top soil. The less top sol you
have, the more "chemfert" you have to add.

Growing organic creates more top soil :O)
