Summary of HR 6276 - USE IT Act of 2023
The USE IT Act of 2023 (HR 6276) aims to enhance the development and deployment of technologies for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The legislation seeks to streamline regulatory processes, promote research and development, and incentivize investment in CCUS technologies.
Key Provisions:
Regulatory Streamlining: The bill directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a framework that simplifies the permitting process for CCUS projects. This includes establishing guidelines for the safe and efficient injection of carbon dioxide into geological formations.
Funding and Authorities: The bill authorizes the appropriation of funds to support research initiatives and pilot projects that demonstrate innovative CCUS technologies. It also encourages collaboration between federal agencies, state governments, and private sector stakeholders.
Programs and Agencies Affected: The primary agencies involved include the EPA and DOE, which will oversee the implementation of the bill’s provisions. The legislation also impacts state regulatory bodies that manage environmental permits related to CCUS projects.
Beneficiaries: The bill is designed to benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including energy producers, industrial manufacturers, and researchers focused on climate technologies. By facilitating CCUS deployment, it aims to create jobs in the clean energy sector and contribute to national climate goals.
Key Timelines:
- The bill was introduced in the House and has since been received in the Senate, where it has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works for further consideration. The timeline for subsequent hearings and potential amendments remains to be determined.
In summary, the USE IT Act of 2023 represents a significant legislative effort to advance carbon capture technologies, enhance regulatory clarity, and foster public-private partnerships aimed at reducing carbon emissions in the United States.
