HR 9212 United States House · 118th Congress

REMOVE Act of 2024

The REMOVE Act of 2024 establishes a federal interagency group and four specialized working groups to coordinate research, development, and demonstration of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. It directs agencies like Energy, Agriculture, and EPA to focus on ocean-based, terrestrial, geological, and technological CDR methods through coordinated planning and annual budget reviews. The bill creates structures for evaluating cost-effective CDR approaches and monitoring environmental impacts but does not mandate emissions reductions or fund specific projects. It affects federal agencies conducting climate-related research, with mechanisms requiring 3-year reviews of group composition and annual budget integration across departments. The Act is procedural, outlining process rather than direct policy changes for the public or private sector.
