FuelPositive Corp., Toronto, has launched its pre-sale application process for its onsite, containerized green ammonia production system (GM Nov. 24, 2021), capable of providing ammonia for a 2,000-acre farm.
The containerized green ammonia production system created by FuelPositive is currently being built for a pilot project on the Manitoba crop farm of Tracy and Curtis Hiebert, who became the first pre-sales customers in April when they committed to purchase a commercial system after testing is completed on the first demonstration system on their farm.
“The FuelPositive system will give us stability. That’s what we like about it,” said Curtis Hiebert. “It’s stabilizing the supply and stabilizing the price.”
The base system, which would produce 100 mt/y of green ammonia, fits within three standard 20-foot containers. It includes a hydrogen separator, nitrogen extractor, ammonia converter, control system with remote monitoring capability, nominal ammonia storage, and a basic installation package. The customer is to supply sustainable grid source of electricity or an off-grid option (approximately 1-megawatt solar array, with supplementary storage, would power the system completely off-grid).
The initial base system price for FuelPositive’s system will be C$950,000, although individual farm conditions may cause the actual price to vary as clients consider adding options or potentially deducting from the base system, according to the company. Once it is produced at scale efficiency, the company said it will be able to offer greater savings.
