One of its inventors would cofound IG-Farben, while the other would help develop Zyklon B.

Roughly 1% of the world's energy goes into it, though it can then be used to feed 40% of the world's population. It was originally catalyzed by an osmium-uranium compound, though modern options include small particles of iron oxide and magnetite injected directly into the reaction chamber. It grew out of a naval blockade limiting the supply of saltpeter and guano from Chile, and coupled with oxidation the Ostwald process it can be used to synthesize explosives, a fact Germany exploited in World War I. FTP, name this high-temperature  and -pressure requiring reaction that combines nitrogen and hydrogen to generate ammonia.
