45Q Repeal Act of 2025
Key claim: The 45Q Repeal Act of 2025 (HR1946) would repeal the federal Section 45Q tax credit for carbon oxide sequestration.
Abstract
(HR1946 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-03-06): Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Why this matters
Section 45Q is one of the largest federal tax subsidies for carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration, and a full repeal would materially shift the after-tax economics of CCS projects, enhanced oil recovery, and direct air capture. Tracking this proposal matters for the taxation area because it represents a rare rollback attempt on a bipartisan energy credit and clarifies which taxpayers (industrial emitters, oil & gas, project financiers) would pay more if enacted.
