CBC News: Green ammonia a potential game changer in agriculture, says Manitoba farmer

September 11, 2024 — 

“Green ammonia is very exciting,” said Mario Tenuta, a professor of soil ecology at the University of Manitoba.

He said ammonia has been made the same way for a hundred years, but the new process sets a path toward using renewables in agriculture.

“When you start thinking about technologies and approaches that get us towards a point in time where we’re not changing the atmosphere or our environment to the negative, that is really good,” said Tenuta.

“We know we need to get there, we know the atmosphere can’t be changing forever. Things will start to run away on us in terms of nature’s checks and balances on climate and temperature.”
