    Gas went up $0.25 in the last week.

    I booked a load this morning and am looking at fuel prices. Sitting might be soon.

    I think it's made from natural gas. Nitrogen is in the air. So cyro and pulling the hydrogens off the natural gas then putting hydrogen and nitrogen together and you make ammonia. Then in water to make urea. Natural gas is way up in price. Fertilizer is 3 times higher than 18 months ago.

    They use coal as well for a source of hydrogen.


    Edit:
    They add CO2 to it at the end. The formula is NH2CONH2.

    I thought urea was just NH3 or NH4+....
