key, bipartisan legislation that would help achieve investment in carbon capture deployment, such as:
SCALE Act, which finances the deployment of CO2 transport and storage infrastructure and boosts funding for the EPA to support permitting of storage projects.
ACCESS 45Q Act and CCUS Tax Credit Amendments Act, which provide a direct pay option and extend the commence construction date for the credit.
CATCH Act, which increases 45Q credit values and eliminates capture thresholds to expand the pool of potential projects.
Carbon Capture Modernization Act, which would improve the utility of the 48A tax credit and enable investment in capture technology to reduce emissions from the power sector.

Cargoes will be supplied from Venture Global’s Calcasieu Pass LNG and Plaquemines LNG export facilities, which Venture plans to install
