Did You Pay Attention in Chemistry Class.  The host for this show is Stan Osserman.  The guest is Dan Gowin.  

Just like there are many ways of making hydrogen, there are many ways of storing hydrogen, and one of those ways also supports sustainable agriculture.  It's ammonia! Ammonia is a critical component in fertilizer but it also happens to be a good way to pack a lot of hydrogen atoms into a liquid at room temperature.  The chemical symbol for ammonia is NH3, one nitrogen atom and 3 hydrogen atoms. Ammonia is made using nitrogen from the air and combining it with hydrogen, but is making ammonia a good thing to do?  We discuss that with Dan Gowin.
