Environmental Impacts
Because ammonia production depends on a reliable supply of energy, fossil fuels are often used, contributing to climate change when they are combusted and create greenhouse gasses. Ammonia production also introduces nitrogen into the Earth's nitrogen cycle, causing imbalances that contribute to environmental issues such as algae blooms. Certain production methods prove to have less of an environmental impact, such as those powered by renewable or nuclear energy.
