Something good has come out of the war on coal. Duke energy is closing some coal fired power plants in Indiana. Heard on news our county council has given the green light for the coal gasification power plant in WTH to become a fertilizer plant.
Not sure if they are going to convert coal into fertilizer or what.
Years ago on the north side of town we had a central nitrogen plant that used natural gas to make fertilizer. They left town after the price of natural gas became too expensive. Next to the nitrogen plant was CO2 place that recovered the excess CO2 from the fertilizer plant.
I read where duke is closing other coal plants, so it might be possible a fertilizer plant may be coming your way.
Quasar should have a plant in DC, abundant cheap fertilizer there. Someone needs to clean up the mess they make.
