AdBlue - are we in danger of a crisis?
We have already got used to the galloping fuel prices. RV users traveling across Europe in camper vans or in a trailer caravan can already prepare for the next problem. The urea solution used in modern power units may soon turn out to be surprisingly expensive and, moreover, much more difficult to obtain. The main component of AdBlue is ammonia , the production of which requires a large amount of gas. As we know, this raw material is also becoming more expensive. Due to the market situation, one of the main suppliers to the European markets - BASF - has significantly reduced production. For many chemical concerns, the production of the additive is a side business, and when it becomes unprofitable, they prefer to withdraw from contracts, paying possible contractual penalties and stop production completely. The first of the large producers made such a decision in Italy, others are already announcing a reduction or end of deliveries.
