The Green Revolution
Of the many important uses of ammonia, the most significant is its use in synthetic fertilizers. Perhaps the most important element of the “Green Revolution” in agriculture in the last century, synthetic fertilizer is responsible for supporting more than half the population of the world and keeping them from starvation. As ammonia production has increased 35-fold in the past 70 years of CDI Engineering’s existence, we have supported every major US manufacturer of ammonia with synthesis, storage and logistics solutions of ammonia and its derivatives. We have extensive experience in specific process technologies like ammonia, nitric acid, urea, methanol, and other nitrogen syngas processes.

The New Green Revolution
With increasing concern about climate change resulting from fossil fuel consumption, attention is turning to the “carbon footprint” of ammonia production. This attention is warranted, since the production of ammonia and its derivatives generates almost 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions, according to a Royal Society publication in 2020. CDI Engineering has been supporting clients who are taking a proactive approach to carbon footprint reduction, with engineering support for projects related to:
- Carbon Footprint Assessment
- Production of Reduced Carbon Footprint or “Blue” Ammonia.
- Production of Zero Carbon Footprint or “Green” Ammonia using renewable energy sources vs fossil fuels.
- Production of Alternative Energy from Co-generation at Ammonia Plants to Wind and Solar projects
