Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Innovative Mitigation Partnerships for Asphalt and Concrete Technologies Act or the IMPACT ActThis bill requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a temporary program that supports advanced production of low-emissions cement, concrete, and asphalt.Specifically, the program must support research, development, and commercial application of production processes for low-emissions cement, concrete, and asphalt that are more cost-effective, durable, or resource-efficient (i.e., advanced production). The program must particularly focus on carbon capture technologies, energy-efficient processes, research involving novel materials, and other specified technologies and innovative processes.DOE must select entities to implement relevant demonstration projects; eligible entities include government, nonprofit, educational, and private sector entities. DOE may terminate these projects if it determines that sufficient amounts of low-emissions cement, concrete, and asphalt that are produced through advanced production are commercially available at reasonable prices.The program terminates seven years after the bill is enacted.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Creates DOE low-emissions building materials program
Supports carbon capture in cement production
Funds demonstration projects for 7 years
Focuses on concrete and asphalt innovation
Promotes energy-efficient manufacturing

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

The construction industry could develop cleaner cement and concrete, which are major sources of industrial carbon emissions. DOE would fund technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of these essential building materials.
