Next up: plants that don't need fertilizer.

I know most on here aren’t entirely plugged into the world fertilizer market, but imagine if we could generate massive tons of ammonia without the need of methane or without the energy needed to split water. That would be amazing. Bad for my business but amazing.

We would still need potassium and phosphates/phosphorous plus other trace fertilizer elements, but this would be a huge step in “decarbonization” of modern industry.
