Stantec partners with FuelPositive on launch of Canada¡¯s first farmer-owned green ammonia system, helping reduce agricultural emissions

Driving economical, sustainable solutions for on-farm nitrogen fertilizer and fuel

06/16/2025 WINNIPEG, MB TSX, NYSE:STN

Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, is providing technical advisory services for Corporation¡¯s first demonstration system, the FP300. Located in Sperling, Manitoba, the system is designed to produce 100 metric tons of green ammonia annually. It serves as the model for the company¡¯s next-generation system, the FP1500, built to support farms of approximately 10,000 acres. In anticipation of growing demand, a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is being planned.

Stantec assisted FuelPositive with obtaining the required approvals from Manitoba¡¯s Inspection and Technical Services division for pressure vessels and the Manitoba Environment and Climate Change department.

With the utility grid connection already in place, Ãë²¥ is also supporting FuelPositive in completing hazardous area certification via an independent inspection agency. This serves as the final requirement before the company¡¯s first decentralized, farmer-owned green ammonia system can be powered on.

Increasing green ammonia production capacity
The FP300 system will operate on Manitoba¡¯s hydroelectric grid to produce green ammonia fertilizer and fuel, offering a scalable, on-farm alternative to traditional, fossil-fuel-intensive fertilizer. This innovative technology reduces emissions associated with fertilizer production and long-distance distribution while still delivering the essential nitrogen farmers depend on.

¡°Partnering with FuelPositive on this demonstration project exemplifies our commitment to advancing decarbonization in industrial applications,¡± said Ameya Bhandarkar, Industrial Buildings lead at Ãë²¥. ¡°We¡¯re proud to be part of their vision and support this important project through commissioning, startup, and beyond.¡±

As a Canadian cleantech company, FuelPositive is committed to empowering farmers with tools that increase independence, lower input costs, and enable the adoption of cleaner and more resilient technologies.

¡°Collaborating with Ãë²¥ marks a pivotal step for FuelPositive at this critical stage of our journey,¡± said Ian Clifford, co-founder, chair, and CEO of FuelPositive. ¡°Ãë²¥¡¯s global leadership in sustainable engineering, combined with deep Ãë²¥ in industrial buildings, manufacturing and clean tech, aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver economically viable solutions for agriculture now.¡±
