FuelPositive announced that they have completed the on-farm commissioning of their modular green ammonia production system in Manitoba, Canada. The system was first installed in June on the farm of Tracy and Curtis Hiebert in Sperling, Man. (GM June 21, p. 1).
Manitoba is known for their stringent regulations, and FuelPositive said it had two certifications specific to Manitoba that delayed the commissioning.
“We are excited and prepared to activate ammonia production in our first on-farm system and demonstrate our groundbreaking technology to the world,” said Ian Clifford, FuelPositive Co-Founder and CEO. “Currently, we are awaiting the final go-ahead from the province before proceeding. Unfortunately, our team was inaccurately informed of the completion and timeline of two necessary Manitoba certifications. We have addressed this issue.”
The FuelPositive system is designed to produce pure anhydrous ammonia from air, water, and electricity, effectively eliminating carbon emissions during the production process. The company purchased the technology in 2021 (GM April 9, 2021) and filed for a US patent several months later (GM June 11, 2021).
