## Summary

**This bill would create a national system that charges goods for their greenhouse‑gas intensity, using a __carbon‑intensity charge on imports and domestic production__ to steer industry and trade. It also funds clean domestic manufacturing and sets up international "carbon clubs" to align standards and trade rules.** - Domestic manufacturers and eligible facilities must report emissions and production data by June 30, 2026 and annually, and could face per‑unit charges based on their carbon intensity versus industry baselines. The Department of Energy would run a production‑support program with a $75.0 billion appropriation in FY2027 to pay lower‑carbon producers. - Importers and foreign manufacturers would face carbon‑intensity charges for primary imports after 2025 and for finished‑goods inputs effective for calendar years after 2026. Default import intensity uses a country‑level emissions‑per‑GDP method, though foreign manufacturers may petition to use verifiable facility or industry data. - The President may negotiate "carbon‑club" agreements that offer trade preferences and interoperable verification, require worker‑rights protections, and provide targeted credits or waivers for qualifying low‑ and middle‑income countries with progression toward full participation within 10 years. The State Department receives $25.0 billion in FY2027 for climate and clean‑energy assistance linked to these priorities. *Authorizes at least $100.0 billion in FY2027 in new appropriations ($75.0 billion DOE and $25.0 billion State), with later-year funding tied to revenues generated by the new carbon‑intensity charge.*

## Provisions PRIA read

- DOE low-carbon industry contracts: benefit, high. The bill would create a competitive contracts-for-difference and investment program at the Department of Energy to support lower-carbon industrial production. It would fund $75 billion for fiscal year 2027 and then use a revenue-linked formula for later years (0 if Treasury revenues from the progra…
- New carbon fee on covered goods: mixed, high. This bill would create a new per-unit carbon-intensity charge on covered primary goods and some finished goods. Import and domestic producer charges would start for goods from calendar years after 2025, and finished-goods component charges apply for goods from calendar years after December 31, 2027…
- International carbon-club deals and aid: mixed, medium. The bill would let the President negotiate "carbon-club" agreements that let imports from compliant countries avoid U.S. charges if those countries use compatible measurement, reporting, and verification, protect worker rights per the ILO Declaration, and adopt domestic policies that lower industry…
