Any reason why we the U.S. couldn’t become leader in ammonia production & fertilizer king of the world? And then we could move on from there. All this would be if we had a leader of course.
The US produces a little more than 8 million tons of ammonia, not enough to meet our domestic needs. Currently under construction in Texas is what will be the largest ammonia plant in the world when it opens in 2023. That will help. I suspect we haven’t been a leader because it has been a cheap commodity, up till now, cheaper to import than to produce domestically.
