Federal Policy Blueprint

The 2025 Federal Policy Blueprint is the Carbon Capture Coalition’s foundational, consensus-based document that serves as a guidepost for Coalition policy priorities to achieve the goal of nationwide carbon management technology deployment. Updated at the beginning of each new Congress, the Blueprint reflects the Coalition’s legislative, regulatory, and implementation priorities for that Congress and the administration. The 2025 Blueprint outlines the policy framework necessary to realize widespread adoption and deployment of carbon capture, removal, and utilization technologies and associated development of CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure. 

Prior Coalition Blueprints and efforts have helped lay the groundwork for the introduction and enactment of the current federal policy framework for carbon management technologies. This includes, but is not limited to, enhancements to the landmark Section 45Q tax credit enacted in 2022, and groundbreaking funding for demonstration and deployment through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021.

Bite-Sized-Blueprints

After the successful launch of our 2025 Federal Policy Blueprint earlier this year, we are thrilled to share a new series of “Bite-Sized Blueprints.” These bite-sized messaging documents highlight key topics in carbon management relevant to the nationwide deployment of carbon management technologies and help to bolster the priorities outlined in the Coalition’s Policy Blueprint. We will continue publishing these new “Bite-Sized” Blueprints throughout the summer. These evergreen messaging tools will be periodically updated with new information.
