# Nitrogen (ammonia): Relationships

Source page: https://www.materialinsights.org/commodities/nitrogen/links/

Every element and industry that Nitrogen (ammonia) is linked to, and how. Each pair has its own card explaining the relationships between the two.

- [Natural gas](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/natural-gas-and-nitrogen-ammonia/): About 72% of the world's ammonia is made from natural gas, which supplies both the hydrogen and the energy, so gas is most of the cost and the marginal producer's gas price sets the ammonia price. When European gas spiked in 2022, half of Europe's ammonia capacity was shut or curtailed, and India's urea plants now depend heavily on imported LNG. *(researched)*
- [Maize](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/maize-and-nitrogen-ammonia/): Maize is one of the most nitrogen-hungry crops, and fertiliser is the largest direct cost of growing it, so grain prices and nitrogen prices share a yearly cycle driven by planting decisions. *(researched)*
- [Ammonia](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/ammonia-and-nitrogen-ammonia/): Nitrogen (ammonia) is a raw material for ammonia; their prices have moved together.
- [DAP and MAP](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/dap-and-map-and-nitrogen-ammonia/): Their prices have moved together.
- [Nitric acid](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/nitric-acid-and-nitrogen-ammonia/): Nitrogen (ammonia) is a raw material for nitric acid.
- [Paper and packaging](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/nitrogen-ammonia-and-paper-and-packaging/): Paper and packaging depends on nitrogen (ammonia).
- [Potash](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/nitrogen-ammonia-and-potash/): Their prices have moved together.
- [Textiles and leather](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/nitrogen-ammonia-and-textiles-and-leather/): Textiles and leather depends on nitrogen (ammonia).
- [Thermal coal](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/nitrogen-ammonia-and-thermal-coal/): Their prices have moved together.
- [Urea](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/nitrogen-ammonia-and-urea/): Nitrogen (ammonia) is a raw material for urea.
- [Wood products](https://www.materialinsights.org/links/nitrogen-ammonia-and-wood-products/): Wood products depends on nitrogen (ammonia).
