So here is the answer of the given question above:
In terms of economics, Harber's process takes a huge amount of capital. Initially, the process demands for a very high pressure and this is very expensive to produce. Second, the company would need to establish extremely sturdy pipes and containment vessels to endure the very high pressure, in order to produce this required condition; the building process is very costly as well as the maintenance. Hope this answer helps.
