SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Expanding Carbon Capture through 
Enhanced Oil Recovery Act of 2014''.

SEC. 2. EXPANSION OF TAX CREDIT FOR CAPTURE, UTILIZATION, AND 
              SEQUESTRATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE.

    (a) Technical Amendment.--Section 45Q of the Internal Revenue Code 
of 1986 is amended by striking the section heading and inserting the 
following:

``SEC. 45Q-1. STANDARD CARBON DIOXIDE SEQUESTRATION CREDIT.''.

    (b) Expansion of Carbon Dioxide Sequestration Credit.--Subpart D of 
part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 
1986 is amended by inserting after section 45Q-1, as redesignated by 
subsection (a), the following new section:

``SEC. 45Q-2. COMPETITIVELY BID CARBON DIOXIDE SEQUESTRATION CREDIT.

    ``(a) Allowance of Credit.--
            ``(1) In general.--For purposes of section 38, the carbon 
        dioxide sequestration credit determined under this section for 
        any taxable year is equal to the amount determined under 
        subsection (c)(2) that is allocated to the qualified facility 
        and certified for such year for the capture, compression, and 
        transport of qualified carbon dioxide.
            ``(2) Credit claimed by taxpayer who captures, uses, and 
        disposes of carbon dioxide.--Except as provided in paragraph 
        (3) and pursuant to such requirements as are determined 
        appropriate by the Secretary, the credit allowed under this 
        section shall be attributable to the taxpayer who captured, 
        used (or contracted for use), and disposed (or contracted for 
        disposal) of the qualified carbon dioxide.
            ``(3) Election to allow credit to be claimed by taxpayer 
        who uses and disposes of carbon dioxide.--A taxpayer described 
        in paragraph (2) may elect, pursuant to such requirements as 
        are determined appropriate by the Secretary, to permit the 
        credits allowed under this section to be attributable to the 
        person who used and disposed of the qualified carbon dioxide.
    ``(b) General Requirements.--
            ``(1) In general.--Not later than 12 months after the date 
        of the enactment of this section and after providing 
        opportunity for public notice and comment, the Secretary, in 
        consultation with the Secretary of Energy, shall establish a 
        process for annual competitive bidding for carbon dioxide 
        sequestration credits under this section that includes the 
        following:
                    ``(A) Establishment of individual project tranches 
                for allocation of carbon dioxide sequestration credits
