Ammonium carbamate is an intermediate product in the urea production process in the chemical industry. Urea can be formed by heating and dehydration. The researchers found that when temperatures reached -211°C, carbon dioxide and ammonia reacted to form carbamate, providing evidence that the building blocks of life may have originated in space. They also found that ammonium carbamate was produced at -234°C. .
