Roadmap for Distributed Green Ammonia in Minnesota
Summary
The report argues for a shift from centralized, fossil-fuel-dependent ammonia production to distributed green ammonia (DGA) in Minnesota. It identifies the state as a viable starting point for DGA due to its fertilizer consumption levels and high transportation costs, suggesting that successful implementation could influence the US Midwest and the rest of the United States.
Key insights
- Ammonia production currently accounts for more than 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions and relies on centralized supply chains in regions with low-cost coal and natural gas, specifically Russia, China, and the US Gulf.
