CATF Statement On Landmark CO2 Infrastructure Bill Introduced In Us House Of Representatives

The Clean Air Task Force supports the SCALE Act, a bill introduced in the US House of Representatives to accelerate the deployment of CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure. The Act focuses on four areas: supporting carbon utilization technologies, providing low-interest loans and grants for transport infrastructure via the CIFIA program, expanding cost-sharing for commercial-scale saline geologic storage through the CarbonSAFE program, and increasing EPA funding for Class VI storage well permitting.

• The SCALE Act (Storing CO2 and Lowering Emissions Act) is intended to scale up the capture and storage of anthropogenic CO2 by promoting the development of pipelines and infrastructure to link emitters with geologic storage sites.
• The SCALE Act consists of four primary components: supporting the research, development, and deployment of carbon utilization for commercial products (including DOE grants to states and municipalities); the CO2 Infrastructure and Innovation Act (CIFIA) program for low-interest loans and grants for transport infrastructure; expansion of the DOE CarbonSAFE program for commercial-scale saline geologic CO2 storage projects; and increased EPA funding for Class VI storage well permitting, including grants for state-led permitting programs.
• The Clean Air Task Force argues that the SCALE Act is necessary to create regional jobs, achieve economies of scale for CO2 transport, and reduce atmospheric emissions to reach net-zero by mid-century.
• The statement notes that other jurisdictions, including Canada, Norway, the UK, the EU, the Netherlands, and Australia, have already implemented policies and funding for shared CO2 transport and storage infrastructure.
