Exploring the Global Ammonia Market: Insights and Trends

Ammonia is an inorganic compound with the formula NH3. It is a colourless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. It is mainly used as a fertilizer in agriculture and also found its applications in various other industries like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, refrigerants etc. Ammonia is produced on an industrial scale using the Haber-Bosch process.Ammonia provides nitrogen to plants which is an essential nutrient for crop growth. Rising global population and need for food security has increased the demand for fertilizers significantly over the past few decades. Ammonia being a key fertilizer ingredient has benefitted from this growing demand. The Global ammonia market is estimated to be valued at US$ 114 billion in 2031 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period 2024-2031. Key Takeaways

Key players operating in the ammonia market are Yara International ASA, BASF SE, CF Industries Holdings, Inc., Nutrien Ltd., Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc., Dangyang Huaqiang Chemical Co., Ltd., Shanxi Jinfeng Coal Chemical Co Ltd., GTS Chemical Holdings plc.,Togliattiazot, OCI Nitrogen B.V., Agrium Inc., Sabic, and Koch Fertilizer, LLC among others. The rising global population has increased the demand for food significantly. As per UN estimates, the global population is expected to reach around 9.7 billion by 2050 which will further drive the demand for ammonia as fertilizer. New technologies like methane pyrolysis are being developed which helps in more efficient production of ammonia. This would help boost its supply and meet the growing demand cost effectively. Market Trends

Growing preference for nitrogen-based fertilizers - Nitrogenous fertilizers like ammonia, urea etc. see higher demand over other fertilizers due to their high nitrogen content and economic viability. This trend is expected to drive ammonia consumption. Increase in natural gas based capacity additions - Many new ammonia plants are being set up based on natural gas due to abundant availability and relatively lower prices vis-à-vis other feedstocks. This is expected to boost ammonia output. Market Opportunities

Rising biofuel production - Ammonia is used as a key ingredient in biodiesel production. Increasing global targets for biofuel blending is expected to generate more demand for ammonia. Use in hydrogen economy - Ammonia is emerging as a potential carrier and storage medium for hydrogen. Its use in hydrogen-based transportation and power generation systems can open new avenues. Impact of COVID-19 on Ammonia Market Growth

The COVID-19 outbreak has severely impacted the global ammonia market in 2020. The imposition of lockdowns led to the closure of many manufacturing facilities, disrupting the entire supply chain. With decline in industrial activity, the demand for ammonia fell drastically across major end-use industries like fertilizers, textiles, refrigeration, pharmaceuticals etc. This led to oversupply situations in North America and Europe. Some of the projects planned for capacity expansion were also stalled during this period owing to labor shortages and financial constraints faced by the companies. However, with gradual lifting of restrictions and restarting of industries from mid-2021, the market started recovering. The demand is steadily rising from agricultural sector to meet the increasing food demand of the growing global population. Fertilizer plants are ramping up their productions to pre-COVID levels. Manufacturers are focusing on developing innovative and cost-effective production technologies to cater to the reviving demands. Project expansion activities have also resumed. The market is anticipated to get back on the growth trajectory and surpass its pre-pandemic size by 2024. Continuous investments in agricultural sector will be crucial for the sustainable growth of ammonia market in the coming years. Europe remains the largest regional market for ammonia, accounting for over 30% of the global supply in 2023. Availability of raw materials, technical expertise and widespread fertilizer manufacturing facilities contribute to its dominance. However, Asia Pacific is identified as the fastest growing regional market, expanding at a CAGR of around 8% during the forecast period. Increased agricultural activities and growth of allied industries like textiles are driving the demands in countries like China, India and Indonesia. Governments in the emerging economies are promoting urea fertilizer production to improve farm outputs. This makes the Asia Pacific region most lucrative for ammonia producers seeking new investment avenues.

野沢裕「山脈」 2023.7.15（Sat）― 8.13（Sun）

void+では野沢裕の個展、「山脈」を7月15日（土）から開催いたします。

野沢は東京造形大学の絵画専攻卒業後、東京藝術大学大学院にて絵画専攻修了し、その後スペインのマドリッドにあるIED（Istituto Europeo di Design）にて写真を学びました。野沢の作品は絵画、写真、映像、さらには自身で制作した印刷物など、様々なメディアを横断しながら日常の風景に潜む非常の風景をモチーフに作品を制作しています。日々の何気ない風景に少しユーモラスな仕掛けを重ねることで現れる小さな気づきにフォーカスを当てた作品です。

本展では作家が住む静岡の納屋から見える風景に触発された新作を発表します。

映像インスタレーションでは、中央部が切り開かれ納屋の窓枠に張られてあった画布をギャラリーに持ち込み、カーテンのように揺れ動く開口部から垣間見える山々の景色を再現します。青々と生い茂る山のシルエットをなぞるように揺れる布の映像が、空間の中でかすかに揺れる布に重ね合わされ投影されます。

また、35mmフィルムの原寸にプリントされたモノクロ写真が連なるコラージュ作品は、山の写真と納屋に掛けられたカーテンの写真が互い違いに並べられ、現実にはないイメージの稜線を作り出します。

本展は8月13日（日）までとなりますが8月11〜13日のクロージング3日間は、void+エントランス軒下にあるスペース「eaves」と駐車場において、アーティストの冨樫達彦によるアイスクリームスタンドが出店し、第8回目となるPOP-UP “ARTIST RUNNING” #8 Joel Kirkham by Goya Curtainも同時開催いたします。

皆さまこの機会にどうぞお越しくださいませ。

ーーーーーーーーーーーーー山脈野沢裕

朝起きると近くの川辺まで歩いていき『たからもの』だという小石を拾って帰ってくる。数時間で宝物としての効力が消えるその小石は庭の端に集められ『たからもの』の山になっている。

連なる山々を横目に、行きは海の方向へ車を走らせ、帰りは山を目がけて帰ってくる。家へと通じる道は1本しかない。変わらないはずの景色が、その日だけの形に見えている。ある時、見えている山の稜線は山のそれではなく空の稜線に見えた。車の速度でゆっくりと動くその空は緩やかな風に吹かれるカーテンに見えた。

山に向かって車を走らせていたつもりが、少し窮屈な椅子に座りながら風に揺れる麻のカーテンを眺めていた。

Koenigsegg Gemera And Jesko Absolut Hit The Track For Photograph Shoot

The Gemera makes use of a rather attention-grabbing 2.0L combustion powerplant, which then ties to a 15 kWh battery and three electrical motors. Sporting ridiculous costs, insane horsepower, and wild designs, Koenigsegg makes unbelievable supercars. Koenigsegg is also often very proud to display its latest fashions koenigsegg gemera, with firm CEO Christian von Koenigsegg usually showcasing his company’s creations. So when the COVID-19 virus shuttered the 2020 Geneva International Motor Show, Koenigsegg determined to take to the Geneva show floor anyway. 2021 Koenigsegg Gemera powered by 2.0L Twin-Turbo three Cylinder Plug-in Hybrid engine that is good for 1703 horsepower and 2581 lb/ft of torque.

The TFG sits simply ahead of the rear axle however truly has nothing to do with it. Instead, its output is augmented by a 396bhp crankshaft-mounted e-motor and punted to the entrance wheels via a propshaft, a hydraulic coupling and a pair of wet clutch packs. It’s this koenigsegg gemera mix – potent petrol energy and huge electric torque – along with Koenigsegg’s hydraulic driveline coupling that means the Gemera, just like the Regera before it, doesn’t want a multi-ratio gearbox.

The Gemera is Koenigsegg's first all-wheel-drive mannequin, and it additionally has all-wheel steering and torque vectoring. A 395-hp electric motor on the crankshaft powers the front wheels, and there are two other electric motors powering each rear wheel. The Gemera gets, what known as, the friendly big engine with three electric motors and the patented single-gear Koenigsegg Direct Drive gearbox. The engine has a mixed output of 1,723 hp and a colossal 2,581 lb-ft of torque. Being a lightweight hypercar, it's mentioned to dash from 0-62mph in an insane 1.9 seconds. Then there's the 800V battery which can let you drive it as much as 31 miles on electric energy alone.

But when Koenigsegg does something outrageous, they go big; or in the case of the new Koenigsegg Gemera, they go 'mega'. While Koenigsegg has beforehand only developed two-seater hypercars, the Gemera is the first of a model new breed, the first Koenigsegg built to be enjoyed by four occupants. It's not a hypercar, it's a 'Mega GT' automobile, and it is altering the high-performance sport before it is even per week old. As if things couldn’t get more quirky, the Gemera can also be able to seating 4 adults and some baggage, and is described as a ‘mega GT’ automobile. This ethos is represented in the Gemera’s name, which Koenigsegg says is a mixture of the Swedish phrases ‘ge’ and ‘mera’ , highlighting the no-compromise strategy they’ve taken with this car.

This means they by no means launched info on energy output or speed for the automotive. The DaVinci was designed in order that it could be used with a regular combustion engine if the purchasing manufacturer decided they didn’t need the automobile to be electrical. On top of all that, each rear wheel has a 500 hp electric motor. The monocoque and physique work are all manufactured from carbon fiber and will in all probability be around 4200 pounds as a end result koenigsegg gemera of batteries and electric motors talked about. Hybrid powertrains are usually cumbersome and ungainly, particularly since so lots of them have been designed to fit into cars that have been initially designed to solely house combustion engines. And by utilizing devoted motors for the rear wheels and an open differential for the front wheels, the Gemera is capable of torque vectoring, which is the ability to deliver dynamic amounts of energy to particular person wheels.

The Battista’s 120 kWh battery provides power to four electric motors – one at each wheel – with a simulated WLTP range of over 500 km (310 miles) on a single charge.

No more than 150 will be created and, like many iconic Pininfarina designs of the past, each will be individually hand-crafted at the Pininfarina SpA atelier in Cambiano, Italy. With Battista prototype development now at an advanced stage, potential clients in London and southern England are invited to register and explore Battista ownership at www.jardinemotors.co.uk/coming-soon-pininfarina/

As part of a bespoke client experience, every Battista owner will be invited to meet the Automobili Pininfarina team responsible for designing, engineering and developing the most powerful car ever produced in Italy. During this visit to the birthplace of Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina, owners will explore the near-infinite opportunities to create a bespoke Battista, with the team led by Automobili Pininfarina Chief Design Officer Luca Borgogno on hand to showcase an enchanting range of colours, materials and finishes inspired by the natural beauty of Italy’s Piemonte region. The opening ceremony for this enhanced facility is planned for summer 2021.

The Battista hyper GT arrives in London following an extensive and successful development and testing phase, in which the vehicle has been put through its paces across a number of key locations including Nardo Technical Center and the surrounding roads. This has also coincided with the pre-series production coming to near completion.

New York: More Ghanian Immigrants Arrested, Stole $55M via COVID-19 Fraud, Romance Scams

This follows the arrest of a at least five Ghanian immigrant fraudsters in New York some who’ve also pleaded guilty.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wednesday, February 17, 2021

Six Defendants Arrested In Multiple States For Laundering Proceeds From Fraud Schemes Targeting Victims Across The United States Perpetrated By Ghana-Based Criminal Enterprise

Defendants Laundered Over $50 Million, Which Primarily Consisted of Proceeds of Fraud Schemes from Business Email Compromises, Romance Scams Targeting Elderly, and Fraudulent Small Business Loans for COVID-19 Relief

Audrey Strauss, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, William F. Sweeney Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), and Jonathan D. Larsen, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation (“IRS-CI”), announced the arrests of FAROUK APPIEDU, FRED ASANTE, CELVIN FREEMAN, LORD ANING, SADICK EDUSEI KISSI, and FAISAL ALI, a/k/a “Clarence Graveley,” for charges in connection with their roles in a fraud and money laundering conspiracy based in the Republic of Ghana (“Ghana”) involving the theft of tens of millions of dollars. FREEMAN and ALI were arrested earlier today in New Jersey and will be presented in Manhattan federal court later today. ASANTE and ANING were arrested earlier today in Virginia and will be presented in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in Alexandria, Virginia. APPIEDU was previously arrested in Queens, New York on October 18, 2020. KISSI was previously arrested in Fargo, North Dakota on February 5, 2020.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said: “The fraud schemes alleged that these defendants facilitated were lucrative, diverse, and most of all, callous. As alleged, they engaged in email spoofing, duping elderly online daters into wiring them money, and applying for government-funded Coronavirus relief funds earmarked for the benefit of small businesses affected by the pandemic. Thanks to the determination of the IRS and FBI, these defendants face serious prison time, and their next online profiles could potentially appear in a place where they’ll be unable to catfish anymore – the website for the Bureau of Prisons.

According to allegations in the indictments filed against APPIEDU, ASANTE, FREEMAN, ANING, and KISSI, a criminal complaint filed against ALI, and other court documents [1]: From at least in or about 2013 through at least in or about 2020, the defendants were members of a criminal enterprise (the “Enterprise”) based in Ghana that committed a series of business email compromises and romance scams against individuals and businesses located across the United States, including in the Southern District of New York. The frauds perpetrated by the Enterprise have consisted of, among other frauds, business email compromises, romance scams, and fraud schemes related to the novel coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.

First, the objective of the Enterprise’s business email compromise fraud scheme was to trick and deceive businesses into wiring funds into accounts controlled by the Enterprise through the use of email accounts that “spoofed” or impersonated employees of a victim company or third parties engaged in business with a victim company. Second, the Enterprise conducted the romance scams by using electronic messages sent via email, text messaging, or online dating websites that deluded victims, many of whom were vulnerable older men and women who lived alone, into believing the victim was in a romantic relationship with a fake identity assumed by members of the Enterprise. Once members of the Enterprise had gained the trust of the victims using the fake identity, they used false pretenses to cause the victims to wire money to bank accounts the victims believed were controlled by their romantic interests, when in fact the bank accounts were controlled by members of the Enterprise. Finally, the Enterprise submitted fraudulent loan applications through a loan program of the United States Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) designed to provide relief to small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) Program. The Enterprise submitted fraudulent EIDL applications in the names of actual companies to the SBA and when an EIDL loan was approved, the funds were ultimately deposited in bank accounts controlled by members of the Enterprise, including certain of the defendants.

APPIEDU, ASANTE, FREEMAN, and ANING received fraud proceeds from victims of the Enterprise in dozens of business bank accounts that they controlled in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia. The business bank accounts were opened in the names of companies formed by the defendants that were purportedly involved in, among other things, automobile sales, food imports and exports, and freight trucking and shipping. Once APPIEDU, ASANTE, FREEMAN, and ANING received fraud proceeds in bank accounts under their control, they withdrew, transported, and laundered those fraud proceeds to other members of the Enterprise abroad. The defendants primarily laundered the fraud proceeds through their businesses by using the proceeds to purchase automobiles, food products, and other goods from U.S.-based suppliers and distributors of such products and shipping those products to Ghana and elsewhere. The defendants’ transactions had the appearance of legitimate business transactions when, in fact, the products had been purchased using the proceeds of fraud schemes. This trade-based money laundering scheme was designed to obscure the origin of the fraud proceeds as well as the identity of the ultimate beneficiaries of these schemes.

Collectively, from in or about 2013 through at least in or about 2020, APPIEDU, ASANTE, FREEMAN, and ANING controlled more than 45 bank accounts that had deposits that totaled over approximately $55 million during that time period. A vast majority of the deposits consisted of large wire transfers and check or cash deposits from various U.S.-based individuals and entities that were victims of fraud schemes of the Enterprise, or payments for vehicles, food products, and other goods sold by the defendants that were purchased using fraud proceeds. As part of the investigation of APPIEDU, the Government has seized and is seeking the forfeiture of four luxury cars purchased, at least in part, with fraud proceeds, including two 2019 Rolls Royce Cullinans, a 2020 Bentley Continental GT, and one 2020 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG.

KISSI received fraud proceeds from victims of the Enterprise in bank accounts that he controlled that were located in the Bronx, New York and elsewhere. Once he received the fraud proceeds in bank accounts under his control, KISSI withdrew, transported, and laundered those fraud proceeds to other members of the Enterprise located in Ghana.

---------------------------------------------

At least one of the defendants - in the U.S. illegally - was released by a judge AFTER fleeing from authorities that SAME morning!

via Inner City Press who was at the court hearing:

Man Who Fled Fraud Scheme Charge Down Fire Escape Is Ordered Released to Self-Install GPS

Assistant US Attorney: Mr. Freeman tried to flee from the agents this morning. They knew he was inside, but he refused to answer. After 5 minutes, they breached the door - and found a window open with blinds moving. He was on fire escape.

AUSA: Mr. Freeman was in his socks and tried to climb down the fire escape. He has no legal status here. He had another person's driver license and debit card. He said it belonged to his cousin, then to his biological brother. There is a risk of flight.

...

Pre-Trial Services chimes in to suggest that defendant be allowed to self-install his own GPS monitoring bracelet.

The U.S. has become a laughing stock, an actual banana republic.

Another of the defendant’s or someone of the same name is listed as a volunteer at a Ghana-based Islamic organization.

The Sims 4 hasn’t always delivered great Mac support. For a while, it was no longer playable due to a lack of 64-bit support. But ever since, developer Maxis has stepped up its game and ensure The Sims 4 on Mac is just as good as on Windows.

So did The Sims 4 delivered? Is it as good as its predecessors? The game didn’t receive exceptional reviews at launch. Most agreed The Sims 3 had more to do and they punished The Sims 4 for it.

The Sims 4 M1 Mac benchmarks

The table summarizes our results as well as results from other members of the community:

As a reminder, this is how we describe the different levels of performance:

Below 20 FPS: Unplayable: Laggy gameplay, full of stutters and slowdowns.

20-30 FPS: Borderline: Can be OK in slow-paced games. Still, not optimal.

30-45 FPS: Playable: Acceptable for most (most gaming consoles do this).

45-60 FPS: Smooth: Fluid gameplay, with no perceivable stutters.

60+ FPS: Very Smooth: For hardcore and professional players, a luxury for most.

We usually aim for 30 FPS, because 30 FPS is enough to guarantee a smooth and fluid experience for most casual gamers.
