For more than 100 years, the ammonia plant has been an indispensable part of the production Verbund. BASF operates ammonia plants with a total capacity of more than 1.7 million metric tons in Ludwigshafen, Antwerp, and together with YARA in Freeport, Texas.

Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch were awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their work.
