Natural Gas Tax Repeal ActThis bill eliminates a program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency that provides support for reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. It also repeals a charge on methane emissions from facilities that contain petroleum and natural gas systems and emit 25,000 metric tons or more of greenhouse gases per year.
This joint resolution nullifies the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule titled Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions and published on November 18, 2024. The rule outlines compliance requirements under the Methane Emissions Reduction Program. Under the program, the EPA collects an annual charge on emissions of methane and other greenhouse gases from the oil and gas sector if the emissions exceed specified waste emissions thresholds.
Methane emissions: petroleum and natural gas producing low methane emissions.

Methane Emissions Mitigation Research and Development Act
To nullify the final rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to "New Source Performance Standards for Greenhouse Gas Emissions From New, Modified, and Reconstructed Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units; Emission Guidelines for Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Existing Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units; and Repeal of the Affordable Clean Energy Rule".
California Environmental Protection Agency: contract: registry: greenhouse gas emissions that result from the water-energy nexus.
Amends the definition of "carbon dioxide equivalent" to provide that such term be calculated based on a 100-year time frame after emission; provides for rules and regulations to amend the statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit; repeals provisions of law relating to statewide greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
Changes the state's metrics for measuring greenhouse gas emissions from the current 20-year metric to a 100-year metric.
Exported Carbon Emissions Report Act of 2025This bill directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to annually collect, calculate, and publish information on certain emissions of carbon dioxide and methane from fossil fuels. Specifically, the EPA must publish information, for each of the previous 10 years, on the total emissions of carbon dioxide and methane that are released (1) within the boundaries of the United States that are the result of the extraction, processing, transportation, combustion, and other use of fossil fuels; and (2) outside the boundaries of the United States that are the result of leakage and combustion of fossil fuels produced or refined in the United States and subsequently exported.
