The production of ammonia currently consumes about 5% of global natural gas consumption, which is slightly less than 2% of world energy production. Natural gas is overwhelmingly used for the production of ammonia, but other energy sources, together with a hydrogen source, can be used for the production of nitrogen compounds suitable for fertilizers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer.
