I share the same concerns. Do we have discovery data for phosphorous deposits? I was wondering if a discovery peak exists. The use of phosphorus has also been limited in certain country (ex: France) because of problems of eutrophication of water.
It seems intuitive that the phosphorus deposits have to be very easy to access for it to be profitable. Phosphate rock goes for around $30 per ton, while a barrel of oil is about $70 for 0.136 tons (or $500/ton). That must have some impact on how far and deep we will go to recover it ... at the present time.
