Deploying Low Carbon Public Procurement to Accelerate Carbon Removal
This paper lays out several principles for designing a public procurement strategy that can accelerate carbon removal.
S. 2836 – America’s Revegetation and Carbon Sequestration Act of 2021
This bill would support management practices that increase resilience and soil carbon sequestration on US forests and rangelands.
H.R. 5205 – NET Zero Act of 2021
This bill would amend the 45Q tax credit by removing the deadline for DAC to geologic storage and enforcing a 10-year deadline for DAC to EOR.
S. 2475 – Energy Sector Innovation Credit Act of 2021
This bill would establish a flexible tax credit for carbon capture equipment investors and producers.
S. 2377 – Energy Infrastructure Act
This bill would establish and fund a grant program for the procurement and utilization of carbon-derived products.
H.R. 4534 – FAIR Transition and Competition Act
This bill would create the Resilient Communities Grant Program to provide states with resources to equitably assist vulnerable communities with climate resilience efforts.
H.R. 3906 – Blue Carbon Protection Act
This bill would establish a Blue Carbon Program within NOAA to further conservation objectives, focusing on the research and evaluation of blue carbon storage as well as protection and restoration of blue carbon ecosystems.
S. 2118 – Clean Energy for America Act
This bill would modify the Section 45Q carbon dioxide sequestration tax credit by authorizing the direct payment of credits and removing minimum carbon thresholds to incentivize smaller projects.
