There are very few market research reports on liquid ammonia, so it is recommended that the original poster keep an eye on the current prices of liquid ammonia to make informed decisions. For a long time, liquid ammonia has mainly been a by-product of nitrogen fertilizer manufacturers, with production volumes that are not high – generally a few thousand tons per year, with peaks of 10,000 to 20,000 tons. Even in the case of companies that produce synthetic ammonia, the production volume is not very large, usually ranging from 30,000 to 40,000 tons per year. Therefore, in various companies, liquid ammonia is generally used internally by the company itself. Sometimes the amount produced within the company is not sufficient, and it is necessary to purchase more from external sources; as a result, there is no surplus to be sold abroad. Liquid ammonia is difficult to transport, and it can only be transported using tank trucks. So generally, rail transport cannot be used; road transport is employed instead, and shipping over long distances is limited. Therefore, local ammonia synthesis companies sell their products within the province rather than exporting them; the price of liquid ammonia is related to the market price of fertilizers.

According to the U.S. magazine Chemical Week, David Silver, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase, said that the global liquid ammonia market has emerged from a three-year downturn and has entered a period of recovery. According to David Silver, strong growth in market demand and modest expansion of new production capacity are the two main factors driving the recovery of the global liquid ammonia market. Due to high natural gas prices, some production facilities in North America have been forced to shut down in recent years. The operating rate of liquid ammonia plants worldwide has exceeded 85%, giving producers the opportunity to raise prices. However, manufacturers are not entirely optimistic about the prospects for liquid ammonia prices, as new production capacities around the world will come online in the coming years. According to the UK-based company Fertecon, the global annual production capacity of liquid ammonia in 2006 was approximately 170 million tons. It is expected that this capacity will grow at an average annual rate of 3.5% over the next few years, reaching around 200 million tons by 2010 ; Most liquid ammonia is primarily used in sectors downstream of integrated plants, especially in urea production facilities. In 2006, the world will see an addition of approximately 1.5 million tons per year in low-cost liquid ammonia production capacity, while in 2007, another 1.3 million tons per year will be added to such capacity. Currently, most new investments in liquid ammonia production capacity are concentrated in regions where low-cost natural gas feedstock is available, including the Middle East, North Africa, and Trinidad. Experts from Fertecon point out that due to rising natural gas prices, some liquid ammonia production facilities in Europe are also on the verge of being shut down. Due to high natural gas prices, Western Europe is currently the region with the highest production costs for liquid ammonia worldwide.

Should we pay attention to the situation of liquid ammonia in China? Is the situation best in North China? :handshake
