Carbon Oxide Sequestration Credit: The Inflation…
Carbon Oxide Sequestration Credit: The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 extended and expanded the tax credit for carbon oxide sequestration. The provision provides a base credit of $17 per metric ton of carbon oxide captured and permanently sequestered in geological storage, and a base credit of $12 per metric ton of carbon oxide that is utilized or captured and injected in an enhanced oil or natural gas recovery (EOR) project. (...) Electricity generating facilities with carbon capture equipment (CCE) must capture at least 18,750 metric tons of carbon oxide during the tax year and each CCE that is installed must have a capture design capacity of not less than 75% of the baseline carbon emissions from each generating unit. (...)

Columbia River Fishery Development Program (Mitchell Act): The Mitchell Act (16 USC 755 757; 52 Stat. 345) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to carry on activities for the conservation of fishery resources in the Columbia River Basin. The Mitchell Act specifically directs the establishment of salmon hatcheries, the conduct of engineering and biological surveys and experiments, and the installation of fish protective devices. (...) The major objective of this program has traditionally been to mitigate the negative effects of lost salmon habitat caused primarily by the building of dams for hydroelectric power, irrigation projects, and flood control, and also by other land use factors, such as agriculture, logging, and urban development.
