1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Green Nuclear Fertilizer Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Green fertilizers, such as those produced by energy generated by an advanced nuclear reactor, are nitrate-based mineral fertilizers with the same chemical and physical composition as fertilizers produced with fossil fuels, but have a lower carbon footprint. (2) Pink hydrogen is hydrogen that is produced through electrolysis generated by nuclear energy, including energy generated by advanced nuclear reactors. (3) In 2023, approximately 95 percent of the hydrogen produced in the United States came from natural gas through a process called steam methane reforming. (4) Hydrogen is an essential feedstock for ammonia production, which is very energy intensive process, but this process could be augmented with advanced nuclear technology. (5) Ammonia is a commodity chemical used for fertilizers, and is produced through a high-pressure, high-heat catalytic reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. (6) The ammonia market is expected to be one of the early deployment opportunities for advanced nuclear reactors through the sale of pink hydrogen. (7) According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, ammonia is the second-most produced chemical in the world by mass. (8) The International Energy Agency estimates ammonia production capacity will need to increase nearly 40 percent by 2050 to account for expected global population and economic growth. (9) According to the U.S. Geological Survey, 88 percent of ammonia consumption in the United States is for fertilizer production. (10) In 2021, the United States had 35 active ammonia production plants across 16 States, with 60 percent of production capacity located in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. (11) China produces almost a third of the world’s ammonia supply, using coal as the primary hydrogen feedstock. 3. Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that Congress— (1) understands the potential for the United States to be a global leader in producing pink
