Producing ammonia and fertiliser using wind power in Morris, Minnesota

# Summary A pioneering facility in Morris, Minnesota has begun producing low-carbon ammonia using wind power to generate hydrogen for the Haber-Bosch process, targeting one ton per day of output for local fertilizer use. The plant, a collaboration between the University of Minnesota, RTI International, and Casale, addresses high fertilizer prices and supply chain issues while using adaptive production controls to manage fluctuating renewable energy supply. The technology can be scaled into a network of farmer cooperative-owned ammonia hubs across rural Minnesota, potentially providing affordable nitrogen fertilizer independent of external supply chains.
