Minnesota's Green Ammonia Plant
Minnesota is set to have its second green ammonia plant, which could fuel a future of domestic production. The University of Minnesota - Morris West Central Research and Outreach Center is upgrading its green ammonia production.
Anhydrous ammonia is commonly used in Minnesota's agriculture industry as a nitrogen fertilizer. However, the United States is the top importer of this fertilizer, with countries like Russia, Trinidad and Tobago, Saudi Arabia, and Canada being the world's top exporters, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Traditionally, ammonia production is done where natural gas supplies are abundant. In contrast, green ammonia production creates ammonia from air and water using renewable energy sources like wind or solar power.
