CRU's Nitrogen capabilities
CRU Communities: Events, training, webinars, publications and more
Gain insight into the nitrogen supply chain with independent and reliable data
As the agriculture industry weathers volatility and uncertainty, clients depend on CRU to deliver timely, trusted insights for fertilizer commodities and associated raw materials.
Our coverage of nitrogen spans from production to its use in and alongside critical compounds like ammonium nitrates, urea, hydrogen and ammonia. With our price assessments and analysis of supply, demand, trade flows and more, you will gain a solid understanding of the nitrogen supply chain.
We deliver in-depth analysis of global factors influencing nitrogen production, including gas exploration and emissions data, as well as the construction of new plants, facility restarts, acquisitions and shutdowns. What’s more, we delve into the impacts that tariffs, trade conflicts and other geopolitical developments have on processes in each step of the supply chain, ensuring you can effectively mitigate risks.
We complement this with Energy Transition and Decarbonisation analysis that links power mix, carbon prices, clean hydrogen and ammonia costs to nitrogen production economics and emissions. This allows you to assess how different transition pathways affect nitrogen competitiveness, investment timing and decarbonisation options.
Our Fertilizer Week services offer detailed coverage of downstream compounds in which nitrogen is a critical component, including urea and UAN, as well as its role in the ammonia value chain, with coverage of both technical and fertilizer ammonium nitrates. Weekly price assessments, market news and supply-demand analysis provides you with comprehensive information you need to make the best decisions for your business.
