Abstract

Nitrogen is one of the key component elements in biological systems, but it also plays an increasingly important part in other areas of a modern industrial system. The starting point for almost all nitrogen‐based chemicals is ammonia. This article presents 1996 production and use statistics for ammonia and its most important derivatives. We also characterize the key production processes and emissions. Finally, we summarize losses and emissions of nitrogen within the sector.
