Northern IL | In simple terms, their process at .0897 cents KWH electricity, the cost of 1640 lbs of actual nitrogen would be $4623. compared to a ton of NH3 at the current price level somewhere around $700. So, $4623 vs $700 per NH3 ton equivalent. This is a cost of production vs retail price comparison. Best concept I could ever come up with is using wind power (govt subsidized at 2cents per KWH) for a cost equivalent to NH3 of $1063 a ton. Until the cost of electricity is greatly lowered or the cost of natural gas increases significantly without the cost of electricity following natural gas higher, the Haber process will remain the industry standard for producing nitrogen. NH3 is the initial form of N to compare to since most nitrogen products are formulated from NH3. | |
