Bill Analysis

Bill Summary: HR 6276 - USE IT Act of 2023

The USE IT Act of 2023 aims to enhance the development and deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies across the United States. The bill seeks to facilitate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by promoting innovative methods for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial sources and the atmosphere, thereby supporting national climate goals.

Key Provisions:

  1. Funding and Authorities: The bill authorizes federal funding for research, development, and demonstration projects related to CCUS. It establishes a framework for public-private partnerships to leverage additional investments in CCUS technologies. The bill also directs the Department of Energy (DOE) to prioritize funding for projects that demonstrate the commercial viability of carbon capture and utilization.

  2. Programs and Agencies Affected: The USE IT Act primarily impacts the DOE, which is tasked with overseeing the implementation of funded projects. Additionally, it involves collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other relevant federal and state agencies to ensure regulatory compliance and environmental protection.

  3. Beneficiaries and Regulation: The bill benefits a wide range of stakeholders, including energy producers, industrial manufacturers, and technology developers focused on reducing carbon emissions. It also aims to create jobs in the emerging CCUS sector. By providing a regulatory framework, the bill seeks to streamline the permitting process for CCUS projects, thereby encouraging investment and innovation.

  4. Key Timelines: Following its introduction, HR 6276 was received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works for further consideration. The timeline for potential amendments, debates, and votes will depend on the committee’s schedule and priorities.

In summary, the USE IT Act of 2023 represents a significant legislative effort to advance carbon capture technologies, fostering environmental sustainability while promoting economic growth through innovation and job creation.
