HR 9558 United States House · 118th Congress

Exported Carbon Emissions Report Act of 2024

HR 9558, the Exported Carbon Emissions Report Act of 2024, requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to track and publish annual comparisons of two types of emissions: (1) carbon dioxide and methane emissions from fossil fuels used within U.S. borders, and (2) emissions from fossil fuels produced or refined in the U.S. and then exported abroad. The EPA must collect this data for the previous ten years, using scientific standards and consulting with energy agencies, and make the reports publicly available online. This bill directly affects the EPA (as the implementing agency) and provides the public with transparent data on U.S. fossil fuel-related emissions both domestically and internationally. It does not change emissions levels or regulations but establishes a reporting mechanism for accountability.
