The bill would also make enhanced oil recovery ineligible after 2026, increase the credit amount for DAC facilities to $175 per ton for secure geologic storage and $150 for utilization, set a minimum wage requirement based on DOL standards, and require that 15% of total labor for constructing a credit-eligible facility be performed by qualified apprentices.
