Irrigated and Dry Land
A 3,000 acre irrigated producer in irrigation is required to have half of the annual usage stored on the family farm. Thus the storage requirement is 128 tons stored on farm and 127 stored at the Green Play Ammonia plant. Thus a 3,000 acre farm uses 256 ton of ammonia. This is two 30,000 gallon storage tanks. A 6,000 acre dryland wheat producer in rotation with dryland corn requires 256 ton of Ammonia in total and his on farm storage needs to be 128 ton on the farm. This is two 30,000 gallon storage tanks. An ammonia tank at 85% fill will hold 3 transports at 22 ton…for a total of 66 ton of ammonia per 30,000 gallon storage or 85% fill at 25,500 gallons of liquid stored product. Our plants are designed to handle 14 irrigated farms at 3,000 acres or 42,362 acres. Our Green Play Ammonia plants will handle 14 dryland farms of 6,000 acres or close to 84,725 acres. A blend of acres could be as simple as 2/3 irrigated and 1/3 dryland. Pick your blend for the area. As rainfall reduces the application must be reduced. Green Play Ammonia provides Exactrix Application equipment and this is a power play as the nitrogen use efficiency increases as more acres can be fertilized. The mandate of Exactrix is our full horizon approach of advising on the application technique in No-tillage. Our first 25 Green Play Ammonia offtake contracts written and signed….this is easily understood by Exactrix producers that understand the power of Exactrix and the ease of Ammonia application when it is available 24/7 at a reasonable price. Each Green Play Plant can be subject to adjustment of acres because a single plant shares with nine other plants in the Decagon. We anticipate 200 Decagons by 2044. Therefore it is not as critical to be exactly aligned and dedicated to all the acres. There will be an oversupply by the time ten plants are in production. In ten years’ time or 2032 we hope to have 200 plants operating and supplying 12 million acres. By 2042 we could supply 120 million acres with 2,000 plants and the cost levelized and adjusted for inflation at $150 to $200 per ton at the 20 year mark. We believe the cost of Green Ammonia could reach an Opex level of $50 to $60 per ton as more and more plants are built and Green Ammonia becomes competitive at the local level. A major change in our economy is related to Zero Carbon, NH3, H2 and NH4 all of which are green with wind and solar power of the Great Plains. .
