Exported Carbon Emissions Report Act of 2025

# Exported Carbon Emissions Report Act of 2025 – Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the EPA to track and publicly report information about greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. fossil fuels—both domestically and internationally. Specifically, the EPA would publish annual reports showing carbon dioxide and methane emissions from the past 10 years related to oil, gas, and coal extraction, processing, transportation, and use within the U.S. The reports would also include emissions that occur outside the U.S. when American-produced fossil fuels are exported and then burned or leak in other countries. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The bill primarily affects fossil fuel producers and exporters by requiring them to be included in EPA reporting, though it doesn't impose restrictions or penalties—only transparency requirements.

Environmental groups and policymakers interested in climate tracking would benefit from having consolidated data. The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Sean Casten (D-Illinois).
