In this title: The term advanced industrial iron technology means a technology related to iron production that is directly involved in an industrial process, and designed to reduce, or results in a reduction of, greenhouse gas emissions, as determined by the Secretary of Energy. The term advanced industrial steel technology means a technology related to steel production that is directly involved in an industrial process, and designed to reduce, or results in a reduction of, greenhouse gas emissions, as determined by the Secretary of Energy.
The term clean hydrogen means hydrogen that is produced through a process that results in a lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions rate of not greater than 0.45 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram of hydrogen. For purposes of subparagraph (A), the term lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions shall only include emissions through the point of production, as determined under the most recent Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation model (commonly referred to as the GREET model ) developed by Argonne National Laboratory, or a successor model (as determined by the Secretary of Energy).
The term covered financial assistance includes a grant, rebate, direct loan, cooperative agreement, low- to no-interest loans, and a loan guarantee. The term early-stage means, with respect to a technology, that the technology has not yet been proven viable at scale. The term eligible entity means the owner or operator of an eligible facility. The term eligible facility means a domestic, non-Federal, nonpower industrial or manufacturing facility engaged in production processes or research and development for iron, steel, steel mill products, or other industrial processes related to iron or steel-making, as determined by the Secretary of Energy.
The term environmental justice community means a community with significant representation of communities of color, low-income communities, or Tribal and indigenous communities, that experiences, or is at risk of experiencing, higher or more adverse human health or environmental effects than other communities. The term existing or legacy iron or steel-making community means— an area that is within a 25 mile radius of an iron or steel production facility— that is producing iron or steel as of the date of enactment of this Act; or that has produced iron or steel anytime since January 1, 1985; or any community within a 25 mile radius of a location in which metallurgical coke, or metallurgical coal destined to be metallurgical coke, has been produced, mined, or processed at any time since January 1, 1985.
The term foreign entity of concern has the meaning given such term in section 40207(a)(5) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ( 42 U.S.C. 18741(a)(5) ). The term frontline community means— a low-income community; an environmental justice community; or a disadvantaged community (as defined by the Justice40 Initiative established under section 223 of Executive Order 14008, titled Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad ). The term mine-to-metal basis means the greenhouse gas accounting rule under criterion 10.4, Determination of site-level GHG emissions for the purpose of reporting GHG emissions intensity when producing crude steel for determining a site’s greenhouse gas emissions , under Responsible Steel International Production Standard Version 2.1, effective from May 21, 2024.
The term near-zero emissions intensity iron means iron that has an emissions intensity of 0.35 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per ton of iron or less, with greenhouse gas emissions determined on a mine-to-metal basis. The term near-zero emissions intensity steel means steel that has an emissions intensity that is equal to or less than progress level 4 emissions intensity that is determined, using a sliding scale of emissions intensity based on scrape share of metallics input, in accordance with criterion 10.6 of Responsible Steel International Production Standard Version 2.1, effective from May 21, 2024, and with greenhouse gas emissions determined on a mine-to-metal basis.
