Someone explain how exactly they are making it "green"?
Instead of using methane as a feed stock to get the needed hydrogen, they plan to use electrolysis to get hydrogen from plain water - using a large amount of solar panels to supply the power.
Since methane is the feedstock for almost all NH3 produced commercially, one would assume it’s a much cheaper way to go.
Solar electricity is not cheap (without subsidies) and producing hydrogen by electrolysis takes a lot of power.
Savings would be reducing transportation costs. But a tiny plant like this isn’t going to match the cost efficiencies of a billion dollar NH3 plant.
Edit to add: Remember in the 1990s when companies were selling on-farm ethanol plants? You know of any operating today?
