Ammonia production, in the urea manufacturing process, emits pure CO2 as a by-product as well as CO2 in the form of exhaust flue gases. Currently, the pure CO2 stream already gets utilized in the subsequent stage of urea manufacture. However, the CO2 in the flue gases is emitted to the atmosphere.
Efforts are now being made to explore the capture of the CO2 from the flue gases and use it too in the urea production process. This will result in the complete utilization of all the CO2 emitted during the ammonia production process.
