Merchant Ammonia, recognized for its highest energy density among non-hydrocarbon products, is a transparent gas generated under elevated temperature and pressure by combining nitrogen (82%) and hydrogen. Serving as a fundamental building block for industrial chemicals and nitrogen fertilizers, it can also be directly applied as a fertilizer. The conventional production process relies on natural gas as the principal raw material, sourced by Fertiglobe through enduring supply agreements with partners spanning our operational countries.

Ammonia and urea jointly constitute 57% of a crop’s annual nutrient requirements. Presently, only approximately 10% of produced ammonia is traded as merchant ammonia, while the majority undergoes transformation into other nitrogen products such as urea, nitrates, DAP, and MAP. Sorfert is currently focused on catering to the global merchant ammonia market
