Tax Credit for Capturing Methane Emissions from Mining Facilities.
This law establishes a new tax credit for mining companies that invest in equipment to capture methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, from their operations. The goal is twofold: to reduce atmospheric emissions and to encourage the use of this captured methane as a source of energy or heat. While the credit directly benefits businesses, citizens may see indirect benefits through reduced environmental pollution and diversified energy sources.
Key points
A new tax incentive is created for companies capturing methane from active, abandoned, or closed mines.
The captured methane must be used for energy production (heat or fuel) and cannot be released into the atmosphere.
The measure aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support cleaner energy utilization.
