Potassium fertilizer

According to the University of Nebraska the embodied energy of 1 lb of potassium fertilizer is 0.0014 kWh, and during its production 0.69 lb of CO2 is released, as well as 0.001 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!
