Ammonia has diverse applications including fertilizer production (its largest use, accounting for about 80% of production), refrigeration systems, household and industrial cleaning products, water treatment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and as a feedstock for producing plastics, explosives, and synthetic fibers. It's also being explored as a carbon-free fuel.
