S 425 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Enhancing Energy Recovery Act

This bill amends the federal tax credit for carbon capture (Section 45Q) to expand eligibility for companies capturing carbon dioxide. It adds new qualifying uses for the credit, including using captured carbon as a "tertiary injectant" in oil/gas extraction projects and certain other storage methods. The credit amount is set at $17 per metric ton for 2025-2026, then adjusted annually for inflation after 2026. The changes apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, directly affecting businesses engaged in carbon capture and storage.
