The Hindenburg was hydrogen, which is dangerously flammable. The accident caused airships to move to helium.
The Germans wanted helium for their airships, but the Americans wouldn't sell it to them.

Sorry dude, your info all comes from the internet. You've never dealt with hydrogen anything.
My impression of you is that you are a deal maker, not a system designer or researcher. We all get exposure to various fields from our work or because of our curiosity.
I like to follow the research developments, incremental as they may be and no matter how long the road from the lab to the road.

This is a great tableau of where energy comes from and where it goes, including waste. Waste of electrical energy production is at over 50%.

The company that i work for is currently building an electrolysis plane to make Ammonia by cracking water. The amount a electricity its going to take is crazy. This is the first prototype in the USA. The plant was designed in Germany and the first one caught on fire! This one plant will use more electricity than all of Donaldsonville! No one is looking forward to this thing coming online later this year.

I never understood this. Ammonia is a byproduct of so many industrial processes that it seems it would be cheap and plentiful. I know of a place that pays other companies to take it.

No but it was filled with more than 7 million cubic feet of hydrogen so I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.
The big problem with the Hindenburg was the aluminum based dope they coated the envelope with. The hydrogen just went poof the dope continued to burn and caused the sustained horrific fire. Not saying the hydrogen did start and spread the fire. Many believe the Hindenburg was sabotaged by the Nazis.

We were told that our company is going to transition from an aquaculture company (fertilizer, UREA, DEF, Nitric acid) to an energy company. We currently use natural gas to make Ammonia NH3. If we can use the Ammonia to transport the Hydrogen. maybe? as a first step?

That sounds like something I would read in a private equity pitch deck.

There's nothing, "wrong" with hydrogen, per se, but it's not as good a source of power as gasoline. You get like 75% of the power and range as you would with gasoline. The price will be higher, you'll get less range, and you'll have to wait for the infrastructure to catch up.
In other words, it's not worth it. Just go with hybrid gas/electric cars. Cheaper, more efficient, and no need to drastically change the entire infrastructure in the US.

You are absolutely correct. The only reason we are doing this green ammonia and Carbon sequestering is because our stock price has been stagnant for 5 years.
