This bill appropriates a total of $18 million ($9 million in fiscal year 2026 and $9 million in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to the University of Minnesota's Board of Regents, specifically for the Natural Resources Research Institute's Minnesota Green Iron Initiative. The purpose of this funding is to support efforts to advance industrial decarbonization through innovative approaches involving hydrogen, renewable energy resources, infrastructure development, and community engagement. Decarbonization refers to the process of reducing carbon dioxide emissions in industrial processes, which is an important strategy for addressing climate change and transitioning to more environmentally sustainable industrial practices. The bill aims to provide financial support for research and implementation of green technologies in the iron and steel production sector, with a focus on developing more sustainable manufacturing methods.
