HR 5750 United States House · 118th Congress

Green Nuclear Fertilizer Act

HR 5750, the Green Nuclear Fertilizer Act, directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Energy Secretary, and Agriculture Secretary to jointly examine the feasibility of creating a "Green Nuclear Fertilizer Program." This program would connect nuclear energy, hydrogen production, ammonia manufacturing, and agriculture industries to develop fertilizer using "pink hydrogen" (nuclear-powered electrolysis) and zero-emissions ammonia. The study would assess regulatory changes, infrastructure needs, economic impacts, and health comparisons between green nuclear fertilizer and conventional alternatives. The agencies must submit a report within one year, detailing whether the program is feasible and outlining potential steps to support advanced nuclear reactor deployment and agricultural supply chains.
