Molar mass of Nitrogen 14, Hydrogen 1, so an Ammonia molar mass...

    Molar mass of Nitrogen 14, Hydrogen 1, so an Ammonia molar mass is 17g of which 3g is hydrogen. ie only 17.6% hydrogen.
    I have built a haber process Ammonia plant (moons ago) and huge energy is required to get Nitrogen to combine with the hydrogen.
    Try 150 bars pressure (about 2250psi) and 900 degrees C to get a partial conversion!

    Impractical, me thinks.
    Hydrides may be the solution, but not for export.
