PROVE IT Act of 2024
This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of Energy to study and publicly report on greenhouse gas emissions intensity (emissions per unit of product) for 22 specific product categories, including aluminum, cement, lithium-ion batteries, and solar panels. It mandates comparing U.S. production emissions with those of "covered countries" (like G7 nations, U.S. trade partners, and major exporters). The study must create a public database of findings every five years, detailing methodology, data sources, and gaps in emissions data for both U.S. and foreign production. This is a data-gathering measure only - it does not impose new emissions regulations or affect current policies.
