Creates a federal commission to guide clean energy and wildfire prevention efforts.
This bill would create a new federal commission within the Department of Agriculture. This commission would develop policy ideas and ways to measure progress for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) systems. The goal is to improve clean energy, support local communities, boost forest health, and help manage wildfires across the country.
Today, there is no specific federal commission tasked with developing policy recommendations and metrics for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) systems. If this bill becomes law, it would establish the Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage Advancement Commission within the Department of Agriculture. This new commission would then be responsible for creating policy ideas and ways to measure progress for BECCS technology, focusing on its benefits for communities, forest health, and wildfire management.
