Clean technology developer FuelPositive Corp., Waterloo, Ont., on Oct. 10 announced that it will receive a funding grant of up to C$1.9 million through the Research and Innovation Stream of the Agriculture Clean Technology (ACT) Program, delivered by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC).
AAFC has made the commitment to FuelPositive’s “Green NH3 Demonstration Phase Project” in support of the commercialization of the FP300 Green Ammonia system.
“This funding will accelerate getting the FP300 system to market,” said Jeanne Milne, FuelPositive’s Senior Government Relations Advisor. “Our iterative technological approach allows FuelPositive to adapt to meet farmers’ needs. The Government of Canada’s vote of confidence is a testament to our shared dedication and commitment to make agriculture cleaner and Canada healthier.”
The Green Ammonia Demonstration Phase consists of building and testing three demonstration systems. The FP300 on-farm, containerized green ammonia plants produce 300 kg per day, or more than 100 mt/y, of anhydrous ammonia. The company plans to deliver the first batch of commercial systems beginning in 2024 (GM June 2, p. 26).
FuelPositive’s decentralized Green Ammonia system consists of a nitrogen generator to produce nitrogen from the air, an electrolyzer to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water, and a patent-pending Green Ammonia synthesis converter that operates with sustainable sources of electricity, eliminating the need for fossil fuels.
