Establishing a green fertilizer incentive program to support the production and adoption of low-carbon nitrogen fertilizer in Washington state.
By resolution, returned to Senate Rules Committee for third reading.
Summary
The bill establishes a Green Fertilizer Incentive Program within the Department of Agriculture to encourage in‑state manufacturing and farmer adoption of nitrogen fertilizer that cuts life‑cycle greenhouse gases by at least 80%. It targets Washington farmers, fertilizer producers, distributors, and tribal agricultural entities, using rebates, grants, and performance payments funded partly by the Climate Commitment Act. The goal is to lower input costs, improve supply‑chain security, and create high‑pay jobs while reducing emissions.
