Urea fertilizer: The global challenges and their impact to our sustainability

The world population will increase up to approximately 9.7 billion in 2050. This calls for an attention due to the potential global warming which then leads to an extreme climate change. Svante August Arrhenius has addressed this issue and had predicted global warming in 1896. One of the gases that...
