Terraforming Mars - The Atmosphere Solution
 
#13
Methane and the other ethanes; crack 'em down for O2, sure.
Ammonia is too valuable as fertilizer; ship it down in bulk for farming.
And, of course, plant cultures of blue-green algae *everywhere*; the stuff will actually grow in Mars' current atmosphere, given a bit of water, and convert CO2 to O2 while it does.
Shipping CO2 from Venus to Mars will allow for increasing the atmospheric density fairly quickly.
