It also is how they power refrigeration in meat processing to keep the freezers cold. Seems like if you put it next to those manufacturing facilities to power the freezer trucks and facility itself you could save a significant amount of energy and reduce greenhouse gasses.

Probably not as much as you'd think. Ammonia is used as a refrigerant in a closed-loop system. You'll eventually have some leaks and have to recharge the system, but the ammonia isn't a consumable item in this process.
