Nitrogen fertilizers are manufactured using the Haber-Bosch process , in which atmospheric nitrogen and hydrogen are combined under extremely high pressure and temperature with a metal catalyst (such as iron) to quicken the reaction, producing ammonia gas. Natural gas is used as a source of hydrogen and as an energy source for this reaction.
