New Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill Could Spur Carbon Capture, an Indispensable Climate Tool

The World Resources Institute supports the Storing CO2 and Lowering Emissions (SCALE) Act, which aims to reduce obstacles to CO2 infrastructure by funding transport, geological storage, and permitting. The act would establish a testing center for utilizing captured CO2 in products and provide funds for low-carbon procurement. According to the statement, the deployment of carbon capture and storage plants necessary for climate goals could create more than 61,000 American jobs by 2035.

• The SCALE Act aims to facilitate the development of CO2 infrastructure by advancing programs for the use, transport, and storage of captured CO2, and by increasing funding for storage permitting.
• The legislation proposes the creation of a testing center to catalyze the market for low-carbon products—including chemicals, fuels, and materials—and would authorize federal funding for state and local governments to procure these products.
• The deployment of carbon capture and storage plants required to reach climate goals is estimated to potentially create over 61,000 jobs in the United States by 2035.
