It is through one reaction which releases heat and another which absorbs it that urea is synthesized in industry.

Specifically, the first reaction involves ammonia and carbon dioxide. The energy release results in the formation of ammonium carbamante. The second reaction will break above-mentioned compound down into urea and water.

Urea is made by reacting carbon dioxide (CO2) with anhydrous ammonia (NH3) under pressure of 3000 psi and temperatures of around 350 deg F. Water is removed during processing and the molten matter is either converted to prills or into granules
