              III. Background and Need for the Legislation

    A number of recent reports have indicated a need for 
prioritizing the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 
from sectors beyond power generation, for both economic and 
environmental reasons.\1,2\ In 2017, the transportation sector 
contributed the highest amount of GHG emissions economy-wide at 
28.9%, the power industry contributed the second highest amount 
at 27.5%, and the industrial sector contributed the third 
highest at 22.2% of GHG emissions.\3\ Despite this, the vast 
majority of federal R&D investments on emissions reduction 
technologies and methods in the U.S. have focused on the power 
sector.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Decarbonization of the industrial sector is particularly 
challenging due to the variety of products and processes 
involved, and our nation's historical reliance on these 
products and processes.\4\ Emissions from the industrial sector 
come from a variety of processes, including: emissions from 
fossil fuel combustion to generate heat; chemical processes 
involved in steel and cement production; and the production and 
use of unsustainable building materials. Thus the technologies 
to reduce emissions from the industrial sector also take a 
variety of forms and include investments in: fuel switching; 
carbon capture; and development of new materials and 
manufacturing processes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Our nation's largest investment in the development of 
technologies to reduce industrial emissions resides in the 
Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) stewarded by the Department 
of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable 
Energy. AMO supports a number of R&D projects and partnerships 
to develop technologies that enable sustainable and energy 
efficient manufacturing. For example, AMO funds research on 
combined heat and power; advanced materials; and digital smart 
manufacturing. AMO also supports manufacturers through targeted 
technical assistance and training programs to improve their 
energy efficiency.

fiscal year 2021, $100,000,000 for fiscal year 2022, 
$150,000,000 for fiscal year 2023, and $150,000,000 for fiscal 
year 2024 in funding for demonstration projects.

Sec. 4. Industrial Technology Innovation Advisory Committee

    This section authorizes a Federal Advisory Committee 
comprised of members from relevant federal agencies, labor 
groups, academia, national labs, nonprofit organizations, and 
industry. The advisory committee is directed to work with the 
Secretary to develop missions and goals of the program 
established in section 3, as well as to develop industry-
specific roadmaps to reduce emissions from the industrial 
sectors and processes identified in section 3.

Sec. 5. Technical Assistance Program to Implement Industrial Emissions 
        Reduction

    This section authorizes a program to provide technical 
assistance to eligible entities to promote the commercial 
application of technologies that reduce emissions from 
industrial sectors.

                         VIII. Committee Views

    The Committee intends that the research, development, 
demonstration, and commercial application program authorized in 
this legislation be cross-cutting in nature, involving all 
relevant program offices at the Department of Energy to execute 
its mission, including the Advanced Manufacturing Office, the 
Office of Fossil Energy, the Office of Nuclear Energy, and the 
Office of Science, and to build from existing activities at the 
Department of Energy at these and other offices. The Committee 
also intends that the awards distributed under this program 
cover a range of projects and technologies, including 
demonstration projects, based on the maturity of the science 
and technology in each relevant industrial sector.

                           IX. Cost Estimate

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee adopts as its own the 
estimate of new budget authority, entitlement authority, or tax 
expenditures or revenues contained in the cost estimate 
prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office 
pursuant to section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974.

              X. Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate
              

     
     [GRAPHIC(S) NOT AVAILABLE IN TIFF FORMAT]



    H.R. 4230 would require the Department of Energy (DOE), 
along with the Office of Science and Technology Policy and 
other federal agencies, to encourage the development of 
technologies that increase the competitiveness of industry and 
manufacturing and reduce emissions in the nonpower industrial 
sector. Under the program, DOE would award grants, sponsor 
demonstration projects, and provide technical assistance. The 
bill also would establish a committee consisting of members 
from the public and private sectors to advise DOE on the 
program, develop a strategic plan, and report results.
    For this estimate, CBO assumes that the bill will be 
enacted in fiscal year 2020. Under that assumption, DOE could 
incur some costs in 2020, but CBO expects that most of the 
costs would be incurred in 2021 and later. Any spending would 
be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
    H.R. 4230 would authorize the appropriation of specified 
amounts for each year from 2020 through 2024 for DOE to sponsor 
demonstration projects. To estimate the cost of implementing 
other provisions in the bill, CBO considered the costs of 
similar DOE programs. For example, DOE allocated about $100 
million annually in recent years for research and development 
programs that focus on manufacturing processes. Similarly, the 
department allocated between $3 million and $20 million 
annually for comparable technical assistance programs, and it 
allocated less than $500,000 annually for comparable advisory 
committees.
    On that basis, CBO estimates the authorization in 2020 for 
the other provisions in the bill would be $110 million, with 
that amount growing by about $3 million each year to account 
for anticipated inflation. Based on historical spending 
patterns for similar programs, CBO estimates that implementing 
H.R. 4230 would cost $812 million over the 2020-2025 period.
    The costs of the legislation, detailed in Table 1, would 
largely fall within budget function 270 (energy).

    On February 18, 2020, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for 
S. 2300, the CIT Act of 2019, as reported by the Senate 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on October 24, 2019. 
The two pieces of legislation are similar, and CBO's estimated 
costs reflect the differences between the bills. In particular, 
H.R. 4230 would authorize specific amounts for demonstration 
projects and S. 2300 would not.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aaron Krupkin. 
The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy 
Director of Budget Analysis.

                     XI. Federal Mandates Statement

    H.R. 4230 contains no unfunded mandates.

         XII. Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    The Committee's oversight findings and recommendations are 
reflected in the body of this report.

             XIII. Statement on General Performance Goals 
                             and Objectives

    Pursuant to clause (3)(c) of House rule XIII, the goals of 
H.R. 4230 are to incentivize innovation and to enhance the 
industrial competitiveness of the United States by developing 
technologies to reduce emissions in the industrial sector.

               XIV. Federal Advisory Committee Statement

    The functions of the advisory committee authorized in H.R. 
4230 are not currently being nor could they be performed by one 
or more agencies or by enlarging the mandate of another 
existing advisory committee.

                  XV. Duplication of Federal Programs

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(5) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee finds that no provision 
of H.R. 4230 establishes or reauthorizes a program of the 
federal government known to be duplicative of another federal 
program, including any program that was included in a report to 
Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139 or the 
most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance.

                      XVI. Earmark Identification

    Pursuant to clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of rule XXI, the 
Committee finds that H.R. 4230 contains no earmarks, limited
