The government would start removing carbon dioxide from the air and sea.
This bill would require the Department of Energy to remove increasing amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and oceans each year, starting in 2026. It sets specific targets and price limits for this removal, aiming to develop new technologies and create jobs. This means the government would actively work to pull greenhouse gases out of the environment, a new step in addressing climate concerns.
Currently, there is no federal requirement for the Department of Energy to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or oceans. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Energy would be required to start removing specific amounts of carbon dioxide each year, growing significantly over time. This would create a new government-led effort to directly reduce greenhouse gases using advanced technologies.
