>> A couple of 10's of kg of fixed nitrogen a month And for any other nitrogen uses. Haber-Bosch was originally conceived as a process for making cheaper explosives. Wikipedia: "Allies had access to large deposits of sodium nitrate in Chile (Chile saltpetre) controlled by British companies. Germany had no such resources, so the Haber process proved essential to the German war effort. Synthetic ammonia from the Haber process was used for the production of nitric acid, a precursor to the nitrates used in explosives."
