Landus and TalusAg Revolutionize American Agriculture with Local Green Ammonia Production
Key Ideas
- Landus and TalusAg have successfully initiated commercial green ammonia production with the first modular systems in North America, ensuring cost-competitive and sustainable fertilizer supply for American farmers.
- The partnership aims to provide local, domestic production of green ammonia to support farming communities in Iowa and across the US, reducing dependency on vulnerable global supply chains and mitigating disruptions.
- Green ammonia not only offers a more sustainable and price-stable fertilizer option for farmers but also provides value to biofuels producers by reducing the carbon intensity score of biofuel feedstocks by up to 25%.
- Supported by the Federal clean hydrogen production tax credit, TalusAg's modular systems produce up to 20 tons per day of ammonia using renewable sources, with plans for further expansion across the US.
Landus, an Iowa-based agriculture solutions company, and TalusAg, an agriculture technology company, have successfully launched commercial green ammonia production with the first modular systems in North America. This local production of green ammonia by TalusAg's rapidly deployable systems aims to provide American farmers with a cost-competitive, reliable, and sustainable fertilizer supply, reducing the reliance on vulnerable global supply chains. The partnership between Landus and TalusAg is crucial in ensuring supply chain reliability and resilience in the US, especially amidst rising fertilizer prices and disruptions. By offering a more sustainable and price-stable ammonia fertilizer option, green ammonia not only benefits farmers but also supports domestic biofuels producers by reducing carbon intensity. TalusAg's modular systems, supported by the Federal clean hydrogen production tax credit, produce up to 20 tons per day of ammonia using renewable power, water, and air. With plans for expansion across the US, the initiative marks a significant milestone in revolutionizing American agriculture towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
