Companies would pay a fee for carbon pollution from industrial goods made in or imported to the U.S.
This bill would create a new fee on certain industrial goods, like steel and cement, based on their carbon pollution levels. The fee would apply to both goods made in the U.S. and those imported from other countries. It would also set aside billions to help U.S. industries become cleaner and to encourage other countries to reduce their emissions.
Today, there is no federal fee on industrial goods based on their carbon pollution levels, whether they are made in the U.S. or imported. After this bill, companies making or importing specific industrial goods would pay a fee if their production methods exceed certain carbon intensity benchmarks. The bill would also create new government programs to help U.S. industries become cleaner and encourage international cooperation on reducing emissions.
