Minnesota’s second green ammonia plant could fuel a future of domestic production

Minnesota’s Second Green Ammonia Plant

A new green ammonia plant is being developed at the University of Minnesota - Morris West Central Research and Outreach Center.

Anhydrous ammonia is commonly used as a nitrogen fertilizer in Minnesota's agriculture industry. 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.

Traditional ammonia production relies on abundant natural gas supplies. In contrast, green ammonia production uses renewable energy sources like wind or solar power to create ammonia from air and water.

Green ammonia gets an upgrade at the University of Minnesota - Morris West Central Research and Outreach Center.

This innovative approach could pave the way for a future of domestic green ammonia production.
