How was Fritz Haber awarded the Noble Prize?

Fritz Haber, a German chemist, won the 1918 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for inventing the Haber-Bosch process, which is used in the manufacturing industry to create ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gas. The innovation is important for the manufacture of fertilizers and explosives on a wide scale. Ammonia from the Haber-Bosch process is estimated to be used in one-third of the annual worldwide food production, which supports nearly half of the world’s population. The Born-Haber cycle was a method for evaluating the lattice energy of an ionic solid that Haber and Max Born proposed.
