The gas is then cooled with the help of cold water to form liquid ammonia, which forms the basis for manufacturing various other nitrogen fertilizer formulations. These gases are far more potent than carbon dioxide (at least 28 to 80 times for methane and 265 times for nitrous oxide) when it comes to trapping heat.

Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is the most important greenhouse gas that we have added to the atmosphere, however, some of it has been absorbed by land and oceans.
