U-Minnesota Launches Wind-to-Hydrogen-to-Fertilizer Project
MINNEAPOLIS, MN - The University of Minnesota expects to start work soon on a fertilizer-producing system that would convert wind energy via hydrogen into ammonia. The traditional way of making ammonia - NH3 - is to use hydrogen, produced from increasingly expensive natural gas, and react it with nitrogen extracted from the air. Now, the university’s West Central Research and Outreach Center (WCROC) near Morris, will scale up a system in which wind, plentiful in the Great Plains, will drive wind turbines that will generate electricity which in turn will be used to electrolyze water to make the hydrogen.
