AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) Advancement Commission within the Department of Agriculture. BECCS refers to systems or power plants that make energy from plant material (biomass) and capture and store the resulting carbon. The commission would include federal officials, state forestry and energy representatives, timber and BECCS industry representatives, and county representatives, and would meet at least every 90 days. Within one year of its first meeting, it would report to Congress with policy recommendations and metrics on BECCS, including on using biomass from federally managed lands, and it would end 180 days after that report. Members would serve without pay but could receive travel expenses.
