How is anhydrous ammonia transported?
The majority of anhydrous ammonia in the U.S. is currently transported by a 3,100 mile pipeline network starting at the Gulf of Mexico and ending in the upper Midwest. The State of Iowa has more NH3 pipeline miles, storage and handling facilities than anywhere else in the world. About half of the state’s total ammonia use now comes from offshore, and much of that from natural gas on the Caribbean island of Trinidad.
