In December 2024, Minnesota Farmers Union held the Green Ammonia Summit to bring together private sector partners, technical experts, energy and utility companies, researchers, policymakers, and farm organizations to discuss the future of green fertilizer both in Minnesota and nationally. The Summit was held in Morris, Minnesota and was organized in partnership with University of Minnesota, Morris, UMN West Central Research and Outreach Center, Fresh Energy, Rocky Mountain Institute, and AURI.

The goals of the summit were to:

• Share current science and technology of green fertilizer, including climate benefits;
• Explore the relevance of green fertilizer toward corporate Scope 3 greenhouse gas inventory accounting as well as new low carbon-intensity fuel markets;
• Identify opportunities for cooperative development and farmer ownership of green fertilizer production;
• And develop multi-sector recommendations to support the expansion of green fertilizer production and use in Minnesota and beyond.
