The CSIRO has developed an effective technology for converting hydrogen gas into ammonia. The benefits of this for distribution of hydrogen as a fuel have come up on the separate discussion topic on alternate vehicle fuels.

The same technology has application for the industrial production of “low carbon footprint” ammonia in the fertiliser industry. A 200Mt pa industry.
Progress on a pilot plant in WA between Norwegian companies Yara and Nel.
Ammonia is also used in the production of mining explosives and some mineral extraction processes. Typically from petroleum products or natural gas.
