Thank you for a very infomative lecture - what a great team you have. Ammonia synthesis is so intriguing that it is thermodynamically downhill at room T & P, yet the H-B process is using brute force and heat.
The capital returns on a wind turbine at $1.00 per installed watt are negative when preparing electrogas, since methane is the avoided cost component that yields actual returns. Since electrogas is one step behind in the currently unprofitable FIscher Tropsch Process (which usually starts with methane), there's no possible way that electricity will profitably be converted to fuels. Fertilizer is a big "maybe".
intresting slide N2 CO2 CH4 H2O, well CH4 is not sustainable. CH4 should be H2 to be sustainable. But i see in a later slide comming back the green H2. and also very familiar name. ( Jens Nørskov )

Where are externalized ff costs? FF only product I know of where manufacturers can dump waste and byproduct into air, water, land at zero cost

Very interesting
