What it does
The bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code to eliminate tax credits for enhanced oil recovery that use carbon dioxide as a tertiary injectant, specifically ending the Section 45Q credit for qualified facilities whose construction begins after the bill’s enactment. It would also repeal Section 43 of the tax code, which provides the credit for enhanced oil recovery, and make conforming changes to related provisions. These changes would affect companies engaged in carbon capture and enhanced oil recovery by removing federal tax incentives for such activities starting in taxable years after the bill’s enactment.
