Engineers have adapted a wind turbine to power ammonia synthesis. The process uses renewable electricity to combine nitrogen and hydrogen. The resulting ammonia contains no carbon emissions, qualifying as “green”. Green ammonia can serve as a sustainable fertilizer for agriculture. The project demonstrates a novel use of wind energy beyond electricity. It aims to reduce reliance on fossil‑based fertilizer production. Early trials indicate comparable yields to conventional ammonia. Scaling the technology could help meet climate‑friendly farming goals.
