FuelPositive’s Commitment to Manitoba
FuelPositive Corporation, a leader in green ammonia technology, has recently updated its strategic focus on Manitoba, Canada, highlighting its commitment to enhancing the region’s agricultural sector. Ian Clifford, Co-Founder and CEO of FuelPositive, praised Manitoba’s potential, “Manitoba is the future of global agriculture, thanks to its climate, freshwater access, and Canada’s trade agreements.”
This initiative marks the first in a series aimed at bolstering FuelPositive’s network within Manitoba, through establishing partnerships that align with the company’s mission and the needs of the local farming community.
The Role of Green Ammonia
FuelPositive is set to introduce innovative solutions such as the FP1500A system, which incorporates Aqueous Green Ammonia technology, aiming to replace conventional UAN (Urea Ammonium Nitrate) in fertigation processes, particularly in potato farming. This technology promises to offer Manitoba’s farmers a sustainable alternative to traditional nitrogen sources, potentially reducing the carbon footprint associated with food production.
Introduction of New Advisor and Partnerships
Chad Berry, a third-generation potato grower with a strong background in sustainable farming practices, has been appointed as FuelPositive’s new Farmer-Advisor. Berry’s 12,000-acre farm, Under the Hill Farms, located in Glenboro, Manitoba, is known for its innovative approaches to agriculture, including reduced tillage and the use of solar energy.
Dr. Mario Tenuta, Senior Industrial Research Chair in 4R Nutrient Management at the University of Manitoba, facilitated Berry’s introduction to FuelPositive. Dr. Tenuta, who also joins as an advisor, is instrumental in researching nutrient management’s impact on greenhouse gas emissions and connecting the company with key agricultural stakeholders in Manitoba.
Technological and Market Advantages
“The $450 million solar-pump market in India is expected to reach $1.5 billion by 2026,” stated Omer Basith, indicating significant market potential that parallels the opportunities in Manitoba for green ammonia solutions. This comparison highlights the global relevance and economic potential of implementing advanced agricultural technologies.
Berry and Dr. Tenuta will provide insights into adapting FuelPositive’s systems to meet the diverse needs of Manitoba’s farmers, enhancing the applicability and effectiveness of green ammonia in local agricultural practices.
Digital Expansion and Media Strategy
FuelPositive is enhancing its digital footprint by incorporating talented photographers and graphic designers into their team. This move aims to improve the online representation of their innovative technologies and system deployments, offering stakeholders a closer look at their advancements through high-quality, engaging visual content.
Luna Clifford, Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer, commented on the digital strategy, “Expanding our creative team allows us to better communicate our technological advancements and community impacts visually, bringing our stakeholders along on our journey towards sustainable agricultural practices.”
