Methane Removal Research and Innovation Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Energy to set up a Methane Removal Research Initiative within one year. The initiative would organize teams from National Laboratories, colleges and universities, private companies, and others to research ways to break down or remove methane from the air, including their costs, scale, and social barriers. The Secretary would report to specific committees of Congress every three years on progress, knowledge gaps, and resource needs. The bill would authorize $25 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
