Abstract

From 1918, BASF prevented access to the Haber-Bosch process and declined multiple requests for operating licenses. The clear preference for promoting its product, ammonium sulphate, rather than its technology, created a barrier that stimulated research elsewhere, based on the availability of cheap electrical power, the application of sophisticated engineering techniques equal to those of Germany, and alternative routes to pure hydrogen.
