Aside from agriculture, demand for urea has also increased due to recent introduction to maritime applications.
International Maritime Organisation - Tier III emmission certification require lowered emissions in (S)ECA areas.
Urea injection in exhaust lines convert SOx to CO2. "HUG-units" long used in greenhouses to also use the exhaust of generators used for lighting/heating as additional CO2 source. These same units are now being slapped on to seagoing vessels that of length under Class (Lloyds/Bureau Veritas etc.).
Sidenote: Service engineers and subsequent calibration tools are fully booked at this time. Good business to be had.
