## Summary

**Parity for qualified carbon oxide uses and higher 45Q credit amounts** would be created by this bill. It would redefine which uses of captured carbon oxide qualify, set new per‑ton dollar rules, and fix code cross‑references so different uses are treated consistently starting in 2025. - Developers that securely store captured CO2 would be placed in a clear, dedicated eligibility category, making storage-based projects explicitly credit‑eligible. - Operators that use CO2 as a tertiary injectant for enhanced oil or natural gas recovery would be covered under the reworked rules and would see a higher per‑ton figure in specified calculations, with $36 replacing $17 where the change applies. - Taxpayers and tax preparers would get a harmonized credit framework because the bill updates cross‑references and dollar amount formulas, and it applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
