of carbon emissions and intensity reduction technologies 
based on such plan to facilitate the development of— 
‘‘(1) promising research projects including but 
not limited to energy usage reductions, use of ad-
vanced catalysts, electrification of heat and steam 
generation, hydrogen firing, low grade waste heat re-
covery, membrane separations, and other process im-
provements that, with appropriate support, could 
produce commercially-feasible technologies capable of 
meaningfully lowering the global greenhouse gas 
emissions or carbon intensity of qualified fuel pro-
duction facilities; or 
‘‘(2) carbon capture and sequestration tech-
nologies for qualified fuel production facilities. 
‘‘(c) DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS.— 
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—In carrying out the pro-
gram under subsection (b), the Secretary may award 
funds for commercial-scale demonstration projects 
for qualified fuel production facilities that test the 
scale of technology necessary for commercial oper-
ation, in accordance with this subsection. 
‘‘(2) ENGINEERING AND DESIGN STUDIES.—In 
carrying out the program under subsection (b), the 
Secretary may award funds for front-end engineer-
ing and design studies in addition to, or in advance

of, issuing an award for a demonstration project 
under this subsection. 
‘‘(3) APPLICATION.—An entity seeking an 
award to conduct a demonstration project under this 
subsection shall submit to the Secretary an applica-
tion at such time and in such manner as the Sec-
retary may require. 
‘‘(4) LIMITATIONS.—The Secretary shall only 
provide an award under this subsection after review-
ing each applicant and application for— 
‘‘(A) financial strength; 
‘‘(B) construction schedule; 
‘‘(C) market risk; and 
‘‘(D) contractor history. 
‘‘(5) REQUIREMENTS.—An awardee under this 
subsection shall— 
‘‘(A) utilize technologies that have com-
pleted pilot-scale testing or the equivalent, as 
determined by the Secretary; 
‘‘(B) secure and maintain agreements for 
technologies designed to reduce carbon intensity 
of or otherwise lower net greenhouse gas emis-
sions at, qualified fuel production facilities or 
for the utilization or sequestration of captured 
carbon dioxide; and

‘‘(C) upon completion, demonstrate green-
house gas emissions and/or intensity reduction 
or carbon capture technologies utilized by a 
qualified fuel production facility. 
‘‘(6) COST SHARING.—The Secretary shall re-
quire cost sharing under this subsection in accord-
ance with section 988. 
‘‘(d) APPLICABILITY.—No technology, or level of 
emission reduction, shall be treated as adequately dem-
onstrated for purpose of section 111 of the Clean Air Act 
(42 U.S.C. 7411), achievable for purposes of section 169 
of that Act (42 U.S.C. 7479), or achievable in practice 
for purposes of section 171 of that Act (42 U.S.C. 7501) 
solely by reason of the identification of such technology 
in reports or programs established under this section. 
‘‘(e) QUALIFIED FUEL PRODUCTION FACILITIES DE-
FINED.—The term ‘qualified fuel production facilities’ 
means petroleum refineries or facilities that manufacture 
commercial amounts of drop-in fuel as defined in section 
2922h(c)(1) of title 10, United States Code. 
‘‘(f) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—For ac-
tivities under this section, there are authorized to be ap-
propriated to the Secretary $200,000,000 annually to 
carry out its purpose.’’.
