What scale is required for synthetic ammonia production in our country to achieve economies of scale?
It seems that they are all 1 million tons at the moment; there’s no specific figure given
Currently, projects in the 30-52 range are the most common, followed by those in the 50-80 range； A few years ago it was 18-30 ； Further ahead is 8-13 ； Further ahead is 4-6 ； Further ahead, haha, it’s hard to say – there are ones at 1.5, 2.5, and 0.5.
Generally, scales of 30/52 and 50/80 offer economic advantages, though the investment is high. It also depends on whether there is energy available.
