Synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is primarily used to produce ammonia and methanol. Ammonia is essential for manufacturing urea fertilizer, while methanol serves as a solvent and chemical intermediate. It’s important to note that steam crackers should not be confused with steam reforming plants, which are used to produce hydrogen and ammonia. Additionally, methane, ethane, propane, and butanes are obtained mainly from natural gas processing plants, along with methanol and formaldehyde.
