Total nitrogenous fertilizer consumption per region, measured in tonnes of total nutrient per year.

Nitrogen fertilizers are made from ammonia (NH₃) produced by the Haber–Bosch process. In this energy-intensive process, natural gas (CH₄) usually supplies the hydrogen, and the nitrogen (N₂) is derived from the air. This ammonia is used as a feedstock for all other nitrogen fertilizers, such as anhydrous ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) and urea (CO(NH₂)₂).
