What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Exported Carbon Emissions Report Act of 2025," directs the EPA Administrator to track carbon dioxide and methane emissions. It requires the collection, calculation, and publication of emissions data related to fossil fuel exports. Specifically, it looks at emissions within U.S. boundaries from fossil fuel use and emissions outside the U.S. caused by exported fuels. This data must be reported annually starting 180 days after enactment. The goal is to provide a comparison of trends between domestic and exported carbon emissions.
