Wind to hydrogen to ammonia at U of MN Morris

The U of MN West Central Experiment Station by the University of Minnesota Morris has begun converting wind power to produce both hydrogen and ammonia. 

This pilot project allows for the production of ammonia fertilizer where it is needed an eliminates the cost of shipping the product from factories primarily based in Texas and the gulf cost through rail cars or pipelines.
