CATF Statement on House Passage of the Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act

The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) supports the House passage of the Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act of 2020, asserting that it accelerates progress toward net-zero emissions by 2050. The organization highlights the bill's investment in carbon capture and removal, hydrogen production, advanced nuclear energy, and methane reduction on federal lands as critical for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors.

• The Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act provides over $15 billion for the demonstration and commercialization of carbon capture and carbon removal technologies and funds the expansion of geologic storage for CO2 to help create a carbon management market.
• The legislation supports the transition to zero carbon fuels by promoting hydrogen production from nuclear energy, renewable energy, and natural gas reforming with carbon capture and storage for use in industrial processes, power generators, and vehicles.
• The Act authorizes billions of dollars over a ten-year period for advanced reactor demonstrations, hybrid nuclear energy systems, the versatile test reactor, fusion energy technology, and university education and support programs.
• The bill includes measures to reduce methane flaring and waste on federal lands to provide health and climate benefits.
