Bill > S1282

This bill proposes to amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005, a law that provides a framework for energy policy in the United States, by adding a new requirement for the Secretary of Energy. Specifically, it mandates that when the Secretary carries out research and development programs related to fossil fuels, they must consider the objective of improving how carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas produced from burning fossil fuels, is converted into other useful products, used in various applications, or stored safely. This addition aims to encourage innovation and development in technologies that can mitigate the environmental impact of fossil fuel use by addressing the carbon dioxide emissions.
