The EPA Administrator shall seek to enter into an arrangement with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine under which the National Academies will conduct a study on options to advance technologies (including pyrolysis, hydropyrolysis, methanolysis, gasification, and enzymatic breakdown) for converting plastic waste to useful products, such as chemicals, feedstocks, fuels, and energy. As part of the study under subsection (a), the National Academies shall conduct an evaluation of— the air emissions associated with technologies described in that subsection; and an evaluation of the ability of those technologies to become cost-competitive with other options for obtaining source materials or producing energy.
Not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the EPA Administrator shall submit to Congress a report on the study conducted under subsection (a).
