Renewable Energy Commodity Trading Educational Program
Distributed Nitrogen Fertilizer Plant-Engineering and Development
R-17-27: Distributed Nitrogen Fertilizer Plant-Engineering & Development (Confidential)
- Sponsor: Progressive Nutrient Systems LLC
- Objective: Developing a small-scale, distributed nitrogen fertilizer plant that will be co-located at the Tharaldson Ethanol facility in Casselton, North Dakota. The PNS plant will use renewable inputs and will both lower the carbon footprint of corn-based ethanol and decrease fertilizer price volatility for North Dakota farmers, while ensuring a local supply of a vital agricultural input.
- Funded Amount: $431,000
- Total Project Cost: $1,000,000
