Wikipedia (I know, Jim) says that modern ammonia production is natural gas or liquid petroleum gas.

But still the question remains; is the stuff used as a propellant and by munters and so on - like CO2 for fizzy drinks - taken as a by-product in processes that would otherwise have vented it to the atmosphere, or is it specially made?
