(OP)
Urea is produced with ammonia and carbon dioxide.  Could the C02 from burning coal be dealt with through urea production for fertilizer?

RE: urea production

CO2 is CO2. The only issue is the cost.

The problem is that the Urea process is a high pressure process. This would require recovering high purity CO2 from the flue gas and then compressing it.

The plant I worked at recovered the CO2 from an hydrogen reformer and then later as liquid CO2 from an outside vendor.

RE: urea production

CO2 is a by-product of ammonia production.  that is why you see urea plants paired with ammonia plants.
