Phosphorus fertilizer

According to the University of Nebraska the embodied energy of 1 lb of phosphorus fertilizer is 0.0009 kWh, and during its production 1.56 lb of CO2 is released, as well as 0.002 lb of methane (another potent greenhouse gas). The embodied energy will be represented here as average electricity, which, unfortunately will skew the results towards higher impact.Please help improving this article!
