Passed House
Summary
Creates a temporary DOE program to speed development and scaling of low‑emissions cement, concrete, and asphalt. It would fund research, demonstrations, and commercial applications that focus on carbon capture, energy‑efficient processes, and novel materials.
Show full summary
- Industry: Funds demonstration projects and commercial-scale work to lower greenhouse gas and related pollutant emissions in production and help make low-emissions materials more widely available.
- Researchers and organizations: Colleges, nonprofits, state and federal entities, private companies, and consortia can be selected to lead projects and receive program support; the program ends seven years after enactment.
- Workers and supply chains: Aims to strengthen U.S. competitiveness, support nearshoring and allied cooperation, and create quality domestic jobs through new production methods.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Grants to test cleaner cement, concrete, asphalt
The Secretary would award competitive grants to demonstrate low-emission ways to make cement, concrete, and asphalt. Projects would span different regions, including rural areas, and a mix of technologies. Selections would favor bigger greenhouse gas cuts and matching money from non-Federal sources. The Secretary would report results at least every two years and could end demos once comparable low-emission products are available in the U.S. at similar prices.
New program for cleaner building materials
This bill would set up a federal program within 180 days to cut emissions from cement, concrete, and asphalt. It would run for seven years, aim to boost U.S. competitiveness and jobs, strengthen supply chains, and reduce greenhouse gases. The Secretary would coordinate with Defense, Transportation, and NIST, and follow research security rules in current law. The Secretary would send a five-year plan to Congress within 180 days of starting the program and update it at least every two years.
Technical help to adopt cleaner materials
The Secretary would offer competitive technical help, inviting applications at least once a year, to move new low-emission production into the market. Help could include updating codes to performance-based standards, life-cycle and cost studies, permits, testing, and evaluations. The Department could set up regional centers to support this work. The Department could also use or help create a Manufacturing USA institute focused on cleaner cement, concrete, and asphalt, following NIST rules.
