HR 7246: Addressing Climate Financial Risk Act of 2026

HR 7246 establishes two new bodies within the Financial Stability Oversight Council to address climate-related financial risks. It creates a Climate Financial Risk Committee to coordinate agency efforts and an Advisory Committee with 30 members (including climate scientists, financial experts, and consumer advocates, but excluding oil/gas industry representatives) to provide input. The bill requires annual reports assessing climate risks to financial stability, updates to banking supervisory guidance for institutions over $50 billion in assets, and detailed data collection on homeowners insurance underwriting by zip code. These provisions directly affect federal financial regulators (like the Fed, SEC, and FDIC), banks, insurers, and the broader financial system by mandating structured analysis of climate risks.

HR 5587: HEATS Act

The HEATS Act eliminates the need for federal drilling permits for geothermal exploration and production on non-Federal surface land under specific conditions. It applies to operators who hold a state permit and where the U.S. owns less than 50% of the underlying geothermal rights. Key provisions include: no requirement for federal environmental reviews (NEPA), exemptions from the Endangered Species Act, and a 30-day start period after submitting the state permit. The bill maintains existing royalty payments for geothermal electricity production and explicitly excludes activities on Indian lands. It does not alter federal royalty rates or require additional federal oversight beyond state permitting.

HR 7568: Hot Rock Act

HR 7568, the Hot Rock Act, funds research and development for "hot dry rock" geothermal energy - a next-generation technology that extracts heat from superhot (300°C+) rock formations with low natural permeability. It authorizes $16-30 million annually (2027-2031) for grant programs targeting high-temperature drilling, reservoir creation, and supercritical fluid research, plus a workforce training program to transition oil/gas workers into geothermal roles. The bill directly affects eligible entities (National Labs, universities, private companies) and covered individuals (U.S. oil/gas workers seeking geothermal careers), with provisions requiring seismic monitoring and risk research. Key mechanisms include milestone-based grants for achieving technical goals like drilling to supercritical temperatures and developing new well-casing methods.

HR 2613: Next Generation Pipelines Research and Development Act

The Next Generation Pipelines Research and Development Act establishes a new demonstration initiative that will award competitive grants to eligible entities - including universities, research organizations, and private companies - for projects developing advanced pipeline technologies. The bill focuses on improving pipeline safety, efficiency, and environmental performance through research on leak detection, novel materials, sensor technologies, and cybersecurity for pipelines and associated infrastructure. It authorizes $45 million for fiscal year 2026 (increasing to $50 million annually through 2030) for demonstration projects and creates a National Pipeline Modernization Center to coordinate research and development efforts. The program specifically prioritizes projects that reduce environmental impacts, leverage existing infrastructure, and involve diverse geographic and technological approaches to pipeline innovation.

HR 5576: Enhancing Geothermal Production on Federal Lands Act

This bill streamlines geothermal exploration on federal lands by defining small-scale "geothermal exploration projects" (e.g., limited drilling with <8 acres disturbance, <180 days duration, and 3-year land restoration). It exempts such projects from major federal environmental reviews under NEPA, requires leaseholders to provide 30-day notice before drilling, and establishes "geothermal leasing priority areas" on eligible federal land. The Secretary must designate these priority areas within 3 years (considering economic viability and transmission access), review them every 5 years, and use programmatic environmental reviews for future leasing. The bill directly affects geothermal leaseholders and federal agencies managing public lands, reducing regulatory hurdles for initial exploration while creating a structured framework for future leasing.

HR 1077: STEAM Act

Streamlining Thermal Energy through Advanced Mechanisms Act or the STEAM Act This bill expedites the environmental review of certain geothermal energy activities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Specifically, the bill expands the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to include certain geothermal exploration or development activities in an existing categorical exclusion from NEPA for certain oil or gas activities. A categorical exclusion applies to a class of actions that do not require an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement under NEPA. The categorical exclusion established by the bill applies to drilling a geothermal well (1) in an area where drilling has occurred previously within the five years prior to the date when drilling begins; or (2) within a developed field for which an approved land use plan or environmental document prepared under NEPA determined drilling to be a reasonably foreseeable activity, so long as the plan or document was approved within the five years prior to the date when drilling begins.

S 881: Renewable Fuel for Ocean-Going Vessels Act

This bill amends the Clean Air Act to require renewable fuel components in fuel for ocean-going vessels, alongside existing requirements for home heating oil and jet fuel. It directly affects shipping companies operating ocean vessels by mandating renewable fuel content starting in the second calendar year after enactment. The key mechanism updates the definition in the Clean Air Act to explicitly include "fuel for ocean-going vessels" in the renewable fuel requirements. The Environmental Protection Agency must issue implementing regulations within one year of the bill's enactment and submit a report to Congress one year after those regulations are finalized.

HR 4018: To unleash America's offshore critical minerals and resources.

HR 4018 aims to accelerate U.S. access to critical minerals (like nickel, cobalt, and rare earths) found in seabed resources on the continental shelf. It requires federal agencies to expedite permits for exploration and commercial recovery under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act within 60 days of enactment. The bill also mandates a seabed mapping plan, identifies critical minerals for defense/energy use, and directs engagement with allies to support U.S. companies in developing these resources. This directly affects U.S. mining companies seeking seabed mineral rights and federal agencies managing offshore resource development.

HR 616: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to double the dollar limitation for the energy efficient home improvement credit with respect to heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, biomass stoves, and boilers.

This bill increases the tax credit for energy-efficient home improvements by doubling the dollar limit from $2,000 to $4,000. It specifically applies to heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, biomass stoves, and biomass boilers purchased for home use. The change takes effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. Homeowners making these eligible upgrades will receive a higher tax credit, directly reducing their federal tax liability.

S 2980: Innovative and Safe Hydrogen Transportation Act

This bill requires the Transportation Secretary to study the safety and feasibility of using composite materials for pipelines transporting hydrogen (including blended with natural gas) within 18 months. The study must assess available materials, existing test data, and relevant standards, with public input through meetings and a 60-day comment period. After the study, the Secretary must initiate rulemaking to potentially allow these composite pipelines. It directly affects pipeline developers, the hydrogen industry, and the Department of Transportation, but does not change current regulations - only sets the process for future safety standards.
