Contact Congress about H.R. 6622: Clean Competition Act

Factories and importers could pay a new charge on high-polluting goods. The charge would be based on emissions per ton of product, with rebates for exports and grants for cleaner technology.

Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Clean Competition Act is a House bill house Consideration.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects companies that make, import, or use high-polluting industrial goods. U.S. factories in covered industries would have new reporting duties and could pay charges if they pollute more than the benchmark. Importers could face charges on covered goods and later on some finished products. Communities near factories could see cleaner-air projects if grants lower local pollution. Trading partners and poorer countries could also be affected by exemptions, waivers, and border charges.

Why this matters: The bill could change the cost of making and buying major industrial goods. Cleaner producers could gain an edge. Higher-polluting producers could face higher costs unless they cut emissions. The border charge is meant to keep companies from moving production to places with weaker climate rules. Prices, jobs, emissions, and trade could change, but the size of those changes is uncertain.

Key provisions in H.R. 6622

• Covered U.S. facilities would report their greenhouse gas emissions, electricity use, and tons of covered basic goods each year. Reporting must start no later than June 30, 2026.
• Carbon intensity means greenhouse gas emissions per ton of covered basic goods. The bill sets benchmarks for each facility and for each national industry.
• The bill counts emissions from the electricity a facility uses. It uses regional power grid averages or qualifying power purchase agreements that match when and where the power is used.
