Later the invention of the Haber-Bosch process revolutionized nitrogen fertilizer production by enabling mass production of ammonia and urea fromhydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. The hydrogen and carbon dioxide uniformly came from fossil fuels, initially from coal and oil, and then primarily from natural gas.
Natural gas is composed mostly of methane, but it also contains small amounts of ethane, propane, butane, and pentane. Methane, a combination of hydrogen and carbon, is formed when plants and animals (organic matter) are trapped beneath the sedimentary layers of the earth.
