Mark Our plant runs around in the upper 30's gigajoules/metric tonne. Our efficiency may a bit lower than regular because we use our purge gas from our converter loop (excess hydrogen) to make ammonia instead of burning it in our reformer. So, all in all it is actually more efficient in the larger picture as we make another product out of it.
I'm sure our new plants in Chile and Trinidad get a better rating because they are newer and one of them uses new technology for methane reforming (to hydrogen)...mainly the autothermal reformer. I'm not sure what their numbers are though.
