Green Ammonia Market set to hit USD 18.3 billion by 2036 at 20.7% CAGR; USA Leads at 22.8%.

Green Ammonia Market set to hit USD 18.3 billion by 2036 at 20.7% CAGR; USA Leads at 22.8%. The global green ammonia market is projected to grow from USD 2.8 billion in 2026 to USD 18.3 billion by 2036, advancing at a 20.7% CAGR during the forecast period. Market demand is being supported by industrial decarbonization programs, renewable energy integration, emission reduction targets, and growing interest in ammonia as a lower-carbon input for fertilizer, chemical processing, and energy applications. As industries seek alternatives to conventional ammonia production, electrolysis-based systems are gaining importance. Greater availability of renewable electricity and expanding clean-energy infrastructure are improving opportunities for green ammonia producers. Green Ammonia Market: Key Growth Drivers Fertilizer production remains a major demand center as agricultural value chains face increasing pressure to reduce emissions associated with nitrogen-based products. Industrial processing and energy storage are also creating additional opportunities as green ammonia gains importance as a renewable hydrogen carrier. Fertilizer is expected to account for 52.4% of application demand, while electrolysis-based production is projected to represent 67.8% of production method revenue in 2026.

Deputy ag Secretary to Newsmax: economic benefits in rural US.

Deputy ag Secretary to Newsmax: economic benefits in rural US. Jim Thomas Sat, October 3, 2026 at 8:23 AM PDT * Deputy Agriculture Secretary Stephen Vaden highlights economic gains in rural areas, including an upward revision of GDP, a new Arizona critical minerals mine, and fertilizer plants coming online. Deputy Agriculture Secretary Stephen Vaden told Newsmax that rural voters will see economic gains before Election Day, pointing to an upward revision of GDP, a new Arizona critical minerals mine, and fertilizer plants coming online. The interview on America Right Now aired about five weeks before the Nov. 3 midterms as new polling showed economic strain in Republican-leaning rural areas. A KFF/AP survey of 2,241 rural registered voters, conducted Aug. 12-24 with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, found 48% of rural voters approve of President Donald Trump's job performance while 57% disapprove of his handling of the economy. Vaden pushed back on headline poll numbers, arguing voters who back the administration's policies are starting to see results. "The majority of voters who tend to vote in favor of the president's policies actually say that they are beginning to see economic benefit from the president's administration," he said. He pointed first to the Commerce Department's upward revision of second-quarter GDP growth. The Bureau of Economic Analysis raised its final estimate for April through June to 2.2% from the previously reported 1.5%, and lifted first-quarter growth to 2.5% from 2.1%, citing stronger investment, consumer spending, and government spending. Vaden also pointed to USDA's role in advancing the Hermosa Critical Minerals Project in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, which he called the first critical minerals mine permitted in the country. He described it as a multibillion-dollar investment projected to create more than 4,000 jobs at above-average local wages. The Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council has put the investment at $3.3 billion with approximately 900 direct jobs projected at twice the local average income. On fertilizer, Vaden cited two new facilities expected to deliver 2.7 million metric tons of annual capacity. He joined Secretary Brooke Rollins at the Aug. 26 groundbreaking of Blue Point One, a $3.7 billion CF Industries ammonia plant in Louisiana projected to produce 1.4 million metric tons when it begins operations in 2029. A separate CHS Inc. and OCP Group phosphate project announced the same week targets up to 1.3 million metric tons of annual capacity, also in Louisiana. Vaden acknowledged the timelines. "It's taken a little while to get these things online, because you just can't have a new plant proposal in 30 days, but we're beginning to see the benefits come online and breaking ground on projects that will make a real difference," he said.

Iowa farmers hit with higher fertilizer bills as two giants see 120% profit jump amid water crisis

Iowa farmers are grappling with rising fertilizer costs while towns face mounting water treatment expenses, as major fertilizer producers report soaring profits. Food & Water Watch found CF Industries and Nutrien increased combined sales by 19% from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026, whilst net earnings jumped 120%. These two companies control 55% of US fertilizer production. Surface-water nitrate pollution in Iowa is closely linked to heavy fertilizer use. Nitrogen that crops don't absorb enters drinking water sources, creating health concerns and raising treatment costs. Des Moines Water Works' nitrate-removal facility costs $10,000 daily to operate. The plant had already run for nearly 200 days this year, totalling almost $2 million. The Department of Justice is investigating whether pricing practices in the fertilizer industry violated antitrust laws.
