(b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of contents for the Energy
Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58; 119 Stat. 600) is amended by
inserting after the item relating to section 968 the following:
``SEC. 969. NATURAL GAS CARBON CAPTURE RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND
DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM.''.
Purpose
The purpose of S. 1685, as ordered reported, is to require
the Secretary of Energy to establish a program for the
research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) of commercially
viable technologies for the capture of carbon dioxide produced
during the generation of natural gas-generated power.
Background and Need
According to a 2019 report by the International Energy
Agency, deployment of innovative clean energy technologies is
essential to offset the increased greenhouse gas emissions
resulting from increased global energy demand. These
technologies include carbon capture, utilization, and
sequestration (CCUS), a process by which manmade carbon dioxide
is captured at its source and is either stored permanently in a
geological formation or reused to prevent its release into the
atmosphere.
Many facilities across the globe demonstrate the technical
and commercial viability of CCUS technologies. In total, there
are 18 large-scale CCUS facilities in commercial operation that
are capturing 40 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, with
many more in development.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has long supported research,
development, demonstration, and deployment of CCUS through
research programs within the Office of Fossil Energy. However,
those programs mainly focus on reducing emissions of coal-fired
power plants. While coal has historically provided the majority
of electricity in the United States, natural gas is now the
largest source of electricity, accounting for 35.1 percent of
all electricity produced in 2018. The Energy Information
Administration expects this number to continue to rise for the
foreseeable future as more natural gas power plants come
online. To address the need to reduce emissions from natural
gas plants while creating jobs and supporting domestic energy
production and security, S. 1685 establishes a program at DOE
to develop cost-effective CCUS technology for natural gas power
plants.
Section 402(i) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct
2005, Public Law 109-58) states that no technology or emissions
reduction achieved by any facility receiving financial
assistance under any section of EPAct 2005 shall be considered
adequately demonstrated for purposes of section 111 of the
Clean Air Act (CAA) (Public Law 95-95); achievable for purposes
of section 169 of the CAA; or achievable in practice for
purposes of section 171 of the CAA. Because S. 1685 amends
EPAct 2005, section 402(i) of EPAct 2005 applies to all
technologies or emissions reductions that are achieved by any
facility receiving assistance under S. 1685.
Legislative History
S. 1685 was introduced by Senators Cornyn, Cassidy, Coons,
and Sinema on May 23, 2019. The Subcommittee on Energy held a
legislative hearing on S. 1685 on July 9, 2019.
The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources met in
open business session on July 16, 2019, and ordered S. 1685
favorably reported, as amended.
Committee Recommendation
The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, in
open business session on July 16, 2019, by a majority voice
vote of a quorum present, recommends that the Senate pass S.
1685, if amended as described herein. Senator Lee asked to be
recorded as voting no.
Committee Amendments
During its consideration of S. 1685, the Committee adopted
an amendment in the nature of a substitute and an amendment to
the substitute. The substitute amendment changes the stated
objectives of the research and development program established
by S. 1685 from demonstrating the ``economic potential'' of
qualifying technologies to the ``commercial viability'' of CCUS
technologies for commercial deployment. It also adds a
definition of ``commercially viable technology'' and strikes a
provision requiring data to be transferred and shared among
participants in CCUS demonstration projects and other
interested parties. The amendment to the substitute authorizes
appropriation of $50 million for each of fiscal years (FYs)
2020 through 2025 rather than permitting the Secretary to carry
out the program using funds appropriated for fossil energy
research and development that are not otherwise obligated.
Section-by-Section Analysis
Section 1. Short title
Section 1 sets forth the short title.
Sec. 2. Natural gas carbon capture research, development, and
demonstration program
Sec. 2 amends subtitle F of title IX of EPAct 2005 to add a
new section 969 titled ``Natural Gas Carbon Capture Research,
Development, and Demonstration Program.''
The new section 969(a) provides for definitions of relevant
terms.
The new section 969(b) establishes a RD&D program for CCUS
from natural gas-generated power. It specifies the program's
objectives, including accelerating the deployment of CCUS
technologies and entering into cooperative agreements to carry
out CCUS demonstration projects. It also encourages the
participation of National Laboratories, higher education
institutions and research facilities.
The new section 969(c) requires the Secretary to establish
a demonstration program under which the Secretary shall enter
into cooperative agreements with eligible entities for
demonstration projects to license, permit, construct, and
operate, by September 30, 2025, three or more facilities to
capture carbon dioxide from natural gas power generation
facilities. It also sets goals for the projects and describes
the application process for eligible entities to obtain a
grant.
The new section 969(d) sets forth cost-sharing in
accordance with section 988 of EPAct 2005.
The new section 969(e) authorizes the Secretary to vest for
title or other property interests acquired under cooperative
agreements entered into under subsection (b)(4) in any entity,
including the United States.
The new section 969(f) requires the Secretary to submit an
annual report on program activities to Congress.
The new section 969(g) authorizes $50 million to be
appropriated to the Secretary for each of FYs 2020 through 2025
to carry out the activities in the new section 969.
Cost and Budgetary Considerations
The Congressional Budget Office estimate of the costs of
this measure has been requested but was not received at the
time the report was filed. When the Congressional Budget Office
completes its cost estimate, it will be posted on the internet
at www.cbo.gov.
Regulatory Impact Evaluation
In compliance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the
Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee makes the following
evaluation of the regulatory impact which would be incurred in
carrying out S. 1685. The bill is not a regulatory measure in
the sense of imposing Government-established standards or
significant economic responsibilities on private individuals
and businesses.
No personal information would be collected in administering
the program. Therefore, there would be no impact on personal
privacy.
Little, if any, additional paperwork would result from the
enactment of S. 1685, as ordered reported.
Congressionally Directed Spending
S. 1685, as ordered reported, does not contain any
congressionally directed spending items, limited tax benefits,
or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV of the
Standing Rules of the Senate.
Executive Communications
