Carbon Sequestration Collaboration Act

HR 4824, the Carbon Sequestration Collaboration Act, amends existing law to expand federal research on carbon sequestration. It specifically defines and requires research on both "carbon sequestration in geologic formations" (storing carbon underground in rock formations) and "terrestrial carbon sequestration" (methods to increase carbon storage in soil and forests through farming, forestry, and other land management practices). The bill mandates coordination across federal agencies like the Department of Energy, USDA, and Interior to leverage existing research, avoid duplication, and develop annual research plans for widespread adoption. It directly affects federal research programs and agencies conducting carbon sequestration studies.
