Natural gas isn’t a fertilizer either. He may have intended to say "hydrogen" or it could be "natural gas". He was referring to a non-energy use: For nitrogen-based fertilizers, the largest product group, the process starts by mixing nitrogen from the air with hydrogen from natural gas at high temperature and pressure to create ammonia.

Using electrolysis to get hydrogen to make ammonia fertilizer may be an even bigger waste of energy and money than using the hydrogen as an energy “source”.
