Findings Congress finds that— (1) the industrial sector is integral to the economy of the United States, providing millions of jobs, essential products, and demonstrating global leadership in manufacturing and innovation; (2) carbon capture and storage technologies are necessary for reducing hard-to-abate emissions from the industrial sector, which emits nearly one quarter of the United States carbon dioxide emissions; (3) carbon removal and storage technologies, including direct air capture, must be deployed at large-scale in the coming decades to remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere; (4) large-scale deployment of carbon capture, removal, utilization, transport, and storage is critical for achieving mid-century climate goals and will drive regional economic development, technological innovation, and high-wage employment; (5) carbon capture, removal, and utilization technologies require a backbone system of shared carbon dioxide transport and storage infrastructure to enable large-scale deployment, realize economies of scale, and create an interconnected carbon management market; (6) carbon dioxide transport infrastructure and permanent geological storage are proven and safe technologies with existing Federal and State regulatory frameworks
