To capture higher prices, farmers worldwide are planting more corn, which requires seven times as much nitrogen as, say, soybeans, notes AltaCorp Capital analyst John Chu.

The DEP will introduce hundreds of thousands of oysters as part of an abundant community including mussels, clams and barnacles that will eat their way through this greenery absorbing the surrounding nitrogen as they feed.
Power plants that burn coal produce more than 90 times as much sulfur dioxide, five times as much nitrogen oxide and twice as much carbon dioxide as those that run on natural gas, according to the Government Accountability Office, the regulatory arm of Congress.
These include the exhaust gases such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), and carbon monoxide (CO).
It must implement regulations that capture the environmental benefits of nuclear, such as low emissions of carbon dioxide as well as nitrogen and sulfur oxides.

For decades, discharges by wastewater treatment plants and land runoff have led to excessive levels of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in Long Island Sound.
The new rules will require automakers to roll out passenger cars and trucks that will reduce smog-producing pollutants such as nitrogen oxides by 75 percent less from the 2014 levels.

As Pluto recedes from the Sun, much of its thin nitrogen atmosphere will condense as frost on the surface.
This will eventually wash through to the river, as will nitrogen applied to those fields in the form of fertilisers.
Haber nitrogen was not used as fertiliser in large quantities until the middle of the 20th century, and for a good reason.
Automakers already strip lots of other pollutants from cars, such as the nitrogen oxides that contribute to smog, and carbon monoxide, which is poisonous.
Future versions, they believe, should also be able to cope with pollutants that do not contain carbon, such as oxides of nitrogen.
In part, the idea is to refine the approach first recognised in the 1930s, which exploits the chemical affinity between carbon dioxide and nitrogen-based molecules such as ammonia or the closely-related amines.
On farms, Haber nitrogen ran into much the same revulsion as had greeted the seed drill.
Nutrient deficiencies, especially of nitrogen, triggered more intense colour in maples as the trees attempted to lessen the effects of sunlight.
In 96 tiny wells robotic arms mixed variations of molecules containing nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur with metals such as zirconium, titanium and hafnium.
FORBES: Upstart Symyx is shaking up the stodgy chemicals industry.
The Anthropocene's equivalent of iridium is nitrogen - although there will be other candidates (such as heavy metals, and carbon isotope ratios characteristic of fossil fuel emissions) for geochemists of the far future to identify as the chemical signature of the new epoch's dawn.
The latter include health-damaging and smog-forming airborne pollutants like hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, as well as greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and other compounds.
However during the bloom triggered by the ash deposits from the eruption, the team recorded that it was a shortage of nitrogen that limited the size of the phytoplankton bloom and - as a result - the volume of carbon dioxide uptake.
The company is also experimenting with a new way of storing the hydrogen that will fuel its cells a fabric made of fibres of activated carbon that can (when cooled with liquid nitrogen) soak up the same amount of energy per kilogram as petrol.
By footling round with centrifuges and liquid nitrogen they were reducing food to a set of mental hurdles, as though there weren't already enough traffic lights and zebra crossings in life.
In the short term, though, Haber merely saved the German war effort as it was on the brink of running out of nitrogen explosives in 1914, cut off from Chilean nitrates.
Andrews worries that the proposal will get watered down, as did the next phase of the low-emission zone to cut nitrogen dioxide emissions (it will only apply to city buses).
Milesi, who uses satellite data to study the effects of urbanization, estimates Americans use as much as 19 trillion gallons of water and 2.4 million metric tons of nitrogen-based fertilizer annually to care for their lawns.
Carbon could also be used as a fuel, NASA scientists speculate, and the process would turn the carbon into nitrogen, the most abundant element in the atmosphere.

Air Products sells gasses like nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and helium used in industrial and medical capacities, while Airgas sells gasses as well as wielding products and safety equipment.
Though he's known for upgrading traditional Southern cuisine with cutting-edge techniques (he uses liquid nitrogen in cold-milling corn for grits), Mr. Brock believes cooking simply is just as challenging as cooking with modern gadgets.

The chemical, one part nitrogen to three parts hydrogen, stores a lot of energy: a gallon of it has about half the Btus as a gallon of diesel.
