IIRC urea is CH4N2O, so a simple breakdown would give you hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide.

But like most "something for nothing" stories, this glosses over a few minor problems, as for instance the fact that the average person doesn't output more than a few grams per day. It's also of far more value as a fertilizer, and in fact a lot is synthesized for that.
