As carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies mature, the concept of a low-carbon or net-zero-carbon economy becomes more feasible. While many chemical energy products do not contain in their compounds, upstream production process does. An added CCS module allows removal emissions from process, which expands value chain. This paper focuses on one such commodities—low-carbon-intensity ammonia (LCIA). Even though is carbon-free its final product, it commonly made natural gas, could generate significant emissions. The idea LCIA to reduce footprint (e.g., blue ammonia) eliminate green via electrolysis) so that entire supply chain decarbonized. goal this two-fold. We first explore US domestic market international for LCIA. then discuss relevant federal local policies help grow markets agricultural sector will be center discussion, consumes an estimated 70–90% global as fertilizers. also examines other potential uses LCIA, alternative fuels decarbonizing machinery transportation sectors. Finally, we argue developing comprehensive chain, supported by dedicated policy measures broad stakeholder engagement, critical materializing contributing climate-resilient sustainable economy.

Abstract This study assesses the effects of increased domestic investment in Agriculture, Hunting, Forestry, and Fisheries sectors on environmental sustainability Indonesia, particularly after Omnibus Law was enacted 2020. Using a descriptive quantitative approach time series data from Central Bureau Statistics, relevant Ministries, legal documents, previous research, examines relationship between various indicators. These indicators include area forest aquatic conservation, total plantation land, greenhouse gas emission intensity, energy intensity agriculture. The analysis reveals that despite significant rise investment, there has been no notable impact sustainability. Forest conservation areas have remained stable, while land increased, it is unevenly distributed. Additionally, emissions shown stability with minor reductions, indicating sustainable practices not effectively implemented. findings underscore need for more robust policies to ensure also fosters protection long-term
