In Minnesota, one wind turbine stopped producing only electricity and started making something else using nothing but wind, water, and the air around it
Summary
The article describes a 1.65-MW wind turbine in Morris, MN, that powers an on-site chemical plant to produce liquid green ammonia using wind energy, water electrolysis, and atmospheric nitrogen. It argues decarbonizing fertilizer is essential for climate and food security, reducing import dependence and exposure to volatile energy prices. The pilot yields about one metric ton of green ammonia per day, offering a model for wind-powered, low-carbon agriculture.
