Sinochem Xinwangxun's global natural gas prices are showing an epic market

Natural gas is a key raw material for European fertilizer and chemical manufacturers to manufacture nitrogenous fertilizers such as synthetic ammonia, urea and nitrate

The natural gas crisis has prompted European fertilizer producers to limit production, and BASF, the world's largest chemical company, has become the latest company to cut European synthetic ammonia production

BASF announced on September 27 that it would reduce the production of synthetic ammonia at its two production bases in Antwerp, Belgium and Ludwigshafen, Germany

BASF said that due to the recent high prices of natural gas in Europe, operating ammonia plants in the region has become extremely challenging economically

BASF said in a statement that it will continue to monitor the trend of natural gas prices and adjust its synthetic ammonia production accordingly

Due to the soaring natural gas prices leading to negative growth in the profitability of the fertilizer industry, many fertilizer plants in Europe have closed and reduced production

At present, fertilizer giants such as CF Industry, Yara, Borealis, and OCI of the Netherlands have announced production cuts, and some nitrogen fertilizer producers are also reducing synthetic ammonia production
