on 02026-04-22how much #ammonia does #agriculture need per bushel of #corn? 3kg of hydrogen makes 17k of ammonia which makes 250 bushels of corn (56 lb. each, so 6350 kg; 3.5 kcal/g gives 370 MJ/bushel, so that’s 93 GJ), so the 142MJ in 1 kg of hydrogen has about 3% of the energy content of the resulting 31 GJ of corn. #fertilizer #economics #energy #food
