Corncobs to Ammonia

I read an interesting article that would be of use to my friends in the Ammonia Industry. A company called Syngest is setting up a plant to convert corncobs to ammonia.
"The bio-ammonia plant will turn 150,000 tons of corncobs into 50,000 tons of anhydrous ammonia annually, enough to fertilize 500,000 acres of land. The process involves a pressurized oxygen-blown biomass gasifier operating in an expanding bed fluidized mode. After the resulting syngas is cleaned, the carbon monoxide portion is shifted to maximize hydrogen, which is purified and catalytically reacted with nitrogen to make ammonia. Syngest has procured 75 acres for the plant, five of which will be used for the facility itself and the rest for biomass storage. The plant will require 10 percent of available corncobs within a 30- to 40-mile radius".
I was wondering that even after so many years,the production of ammonia still needs high pressures and temperatures.When will we see an inherently safer process?
