First scalable green ammonia production system successfully installed on Manitoba farm
The FuelPositive Corp. team has successfully installed the world’s first farmer-owned modular green ammonia production system in Sperling, Manitoba.
“June 11, 2024, marks a historic moment for FuelPositive as all containers of its first commercial-scale system were placed in their final positions on the Hieberts’ farm,” said Luna Clifford, FuelPositive’s Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer.
The successful placement of the containers was captured through drone shots and photography, showcasing the impressive integration of cutting-edge technology on the Hieberts’ vibrant and dynamic farm landscape.
The installation of the Company’s first containerized green ammonia production system signifies a pivotal step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future for agriculture in Canada and around the world.
“Emissions in agriculture are hard to abate; farmers need accessible tools and solutions to meet the Canadian emission reduction targets set for them. FuelPositive is here to support farmers in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions,” continued Luna Clifford.
“With our first system now in place and the massive 90-ton storage tank arriving today, we are ready to complete commissioning and move forward to our next phase: the on-farm production of green ammonia,” said Nelson Leite, FuelPositive’s Chief Technology Officer.
“FuelPositive’s groundbreaking project, happening right here in Manitoba, could mean the beginning of a beautiful success story for the province and Canada,” continued Luna Clifford.
By focusing on technologies that are clean, sustainable, economically advantageous and realizable, the company aims to help mitigate climate change, addressing unsustainable agricultural practices through innovative technology and practical solutions that can be implemented now. The FuelPositive on-farm/onsite, containerized green ammonia production system is designed to produce pure, anhydrous ammonia for multiple applications, including fertilizer for farming, fuel for grain drying and internal combustion engines, a practical alternative for fuel cells and a solution for grid storage. Green ammonia is also considered a key enabler of the hydrogen economy.
FuelPositive systems are designed to provide for green ammonia production on-farm/onsite, where and when needed. This eliminates wildly fluctuating supply chains and offers end users clean fertilizer, energy and green ammonia supply security while eliminating carbon emissions from the production process. The first customers will be farmers. Farmers use 80% of the traditional grey ammonia produced today as fertilizer.
