Summary/Abstract
The House Energy and Commerce Committee’s CLEAN Future Act is draft legislation featuring specific details on a national program, including a climate target aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. This approach seeks to align the federal government and states in pursuit of this economy-wide goal with a cross-sector, unified program.
The bill would create a Department of Energy (DOE) carbon capture and utilization technology commercialization program to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, cost, and environmental performance of fossil fuel-fired facilities, and a direct air capture technology prize program.
