What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Colorado-based fertilizer company is planning a multi-billion dollar, world-scale nitrogen fertilizer plant in Cheyenne, Colorado, to serve the western United States. The facility will produce urea, UAN32, ammonia, and diesel exhaust fluid. Currently, 36% of U.S. urea is imported, with 66% of that volume coming from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman in 2025.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new facility aims to address a lack of nitrogen production capacity in the West, which has a demand of approximately 5 million tons. Officials noted that the plant, which will utilize Wyoming natural gas, could help mitigate national security risks and address recent increases in fertilizer costs.
