SUMMARY

S. 2602 would authorize appropriations for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to support the research and development of advanced technologies to capture carbon
dioxide (C02) from the atmosphere so that it may be permanently stored or used within
commercial products or processes. Under the bill, infrastructure projects that capture CO2
would qualify for certain expedited review and permitting procedures. Finally, the bill
would require the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) to facilitate the expansion of
CO2 storage projects and infrastructure.

Using information from EPA and CEQ, CBO estimates that implementing S. 2602 would
cost $73 million over the next five years, assuming appropriation of the authorized and
necessary amounts.

Enacting S. 2602 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 2602 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

S. 2602 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).

The estimated budgetary effect of S. 2602 is shown in the following table. The costs of
the legislation fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and environment).
