Plants running the Haber Bosch process provide the vast majority of nitrogen used in fertilizers. Collectivly, they consume about 3–5% of the world's natural gas production [...] (around 1–2% of the world's annual energy supply). Other sources stress that natural gas use accounts for roughly half the energy budget of these plants, the other half beeing electricity to run the turbocompressors. With casual googling, I only found numbers at the global level.

I want to have more exact numbers for the natural gas and energy consumption of a typical Haber Bosch plant, relative to the fertilizer output.
