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.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow the issuance of tax-exempt private activity bonds for qualified carbon dioxide capture facilities. The key provisions include: defining "qualified carbon dioxide capture facilities" to include eligible components of industrial carbon dioxide facilities and direct air capture facilities, requiring a minimum 65% carbon dioxide capture and storage rate to qualify for full tax-exempt financing, and clarifying that the sale of captured carbon dioxide by a government-owned facility does not constitute private business use. These changes are intended to lower the financing costs of carbon dioxide capture projects and accelerate their deployment, supporting environmental, economic, and national security goals.
