FuelPositive (NHHH) has signed a letter of intent with Tracy and Curtis Hiebert, farmers based in Manitoba.
The Hieberts will become the company’s first demonstration project partners.
FuelPositive’s first, full-sized, green ammonia production system will be placed on the Hiebert’s 11,000-acre family-operated plant-crop farm near the town of Sperling, south of Winnipeg.
The demonstration system will be fully validated and ready for the farm in late summer 2022.
The objectives of the first pilot project are to place the system on the farm and power it with electricity supplied by Manitoba’s carbon-free grid, in combination with the Hieberts’ 200-kilowatt solar array and evaluate the operational interface between the customer and the system. This will serve to prove the ease of use of the system and ensure the system performs as expected over time, while exposed to Manitoba’s varied and extreme climate.
FuelPositive’s core technology is a scalable, containerized system that employs a carbon-free process to make pure or anhydrous ammonia. Over 80 per cent of the ammonia produced today is used on farms as fertilizer because of the significant concentration of nitrogen it contains. Ian Clifford, FuelPositive CEO and Board Chair commented on the news.
“We are excited to be working with Tracy and Curtis and their family on our first demonstration project. They take a modern approach to farming, want to be more sustainable, and are early adopters of new agricultural technologies and techniques to increase efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The family has been working with anhydrous ammonia since the late 1960s when it was first introduced in Manitoba, so the Hieberts are already knowledgeable and comfortable working with anhydrous ammonia. As well, they want to gain control of their supply of fertilizer after experiencing huge price increases and a lack of reliable supply over the past number of years.
The advantage of the FuelPositive system, over and above being carbon-free, is that it eliminates the supply chain. The customer produces the supply they need on their own land, as needed.”
FuelPositive seeks to change the course of climate change through clean energy solutions, including carbon-free ammonia, for use across a broad spectrum of industries and applications.
FuelPositive (NHHH) opened trading at C$0.15 per share.
