Bill Summary
A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for the issuance of exempt facility bonds for qualified carbon dioxide capture facilities. This bill authorizes the issuance of tax-exempt facility bonds for the financing of qualified carbon dioxide capture facilities. A "qualified carbon dioxide capture facility" is any equipment installed in an industrial carbon dioxide facility that satisfies specified capture and storage requirements and (1) is used for the capture, treatment and purification, compression, transportation, or on-site storage of carbon dioxide produced by the industrial carbon dioxide facility; or (2) is integral or functionally related and subordinate to a gasification process that converts a product from coal, petroleum residue, biomass, or other materials which are recovered for their energy or feedstock value into a synthesis gas composed primarily of carbon dioxide and hydrogen for direct use or subsequent chemical or physical conversion.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow for the issuance of tax-exempt facility bonds to finance "qualified carbon dioxide capture facilities". These are defined as equipment installed in industrial facilities that is used to capture, treat, compress, transport, or store carbon dioxide. The bill sets a 65% minimum capture and storage requirement for these facilities to qualify for the tax-exempt financing, with an exception allowing for a lower percentage as long as the bond financing does not exceed the actual capture and storage rate. This is intended to help reduce the costs of developing carbon capture projects and accelerate their deployment, which could assist the United States in meeting environmental, economic, and national security goals.
