Farmers in North Dakota currently import, leaving them vulnerable to price spikes and supply disruptions. Green hydrogen would open the door to local sourcing, with in-state wind power providing energy to run electrolyzer systems.

That could explain a new piece of state legislation that supports the wind-hydrogen-ammonia chain.
