The nitrogen component of ammonium nitrate or of urea formaldehyde is about 40 %. I was never talking about balanced fertilizers but rather of the safety and economy and convenience of shipping what is then blended with potassium phosphate and fillers to make a balanced fertilizer. I certainly would not advocate shipping rocks to Trinidad and then shipping them back. But natural gas can be converted in situ into much more compact, stable, and transportable solid product instead of shipping the gas itself in liquified form to be offloaded, piped, and processed within the United States. Natural gas is also a feedstock for plastics, which are easier to ship than a giant refrigerated Dewar flask full of liquified methane.
