Indonesia, as an archipelagic country, is very vulnerable to climate change, and has taken strategic steps to respond to this global dynamic. Indonesia is a country rich in natural resources, especially in terms of mining commodities. To overcome the challenges faced in managing energy resources, one promising approach is the transition from the use of fossil fuels to carbon neutral renewable energy sources. The use of conventional ammonia affects air quality, where as a result of exposure to conventional ammonia the air quality is above the normal threshold. Switching the use of conventional ammonia to green ammonia is a step to reduce air pollution which results in extreme climate change. The use of ammonia must be optimized as an environmentally friendly energy use. It is also important for the government as the regulatory provider to pay attention to the existence of a legal umbrella that regulates green ammonia. Overall, the Indonesian government has issued various policies and regulations to support energy development, especially hydrogen as a raw material for green ammonia and renewable energy.

Introduction Indonesia adheres to the concept of a welfare state, as enshrined in the fourth paragraph of the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD NRI 1945). It mandates the state's responsibility to promote the general welfare. Historically, this aligns with the legal maxim Salus Populi Suprema Lex, it means the welfare and prosperity of the people is the highest law in a state. One crucial role of the state is manifested through the utilization and management of natural resources, as mandated in Article 33, paragraph (3) of the UUD NRI 1945, which states 'The land, water, and natural resources within are controlled by the state and utilized to the greatest benefit of the people. This article clearly emphasizes the significant role of the state in regulating the economy. It also prohibits the control of natural resources by individuals through monopolistic or oligopolistic practices in resource management, which contravenes the principles of Article 33 of the UUD NRI 1945. This aligns with Rachel Carson's statement in her book Silent Spring: But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself (Natural Resources Defense Council, 2018). This quote reflects the alarming state of our planet, increasingly plagued by environmental degradation. Therefore, active commitment and state contributions are essential to implement adaptive environmental policies aligned with the transition to sustainable energy. In 2019, the total primary energy supply worldwide reached 4,410 million tons of oil equivalent (MTOE). According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global energy demand is projected to face 1 https://crlsj.com
