As soon as possible after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Energy (in this section referred to as the Secretary ) shall establish a technology commercialization program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and natural gas sector, and to improve existing technologies and practices to reduce such emissions. In carrying out the program under subsection (a), the Secretary shall give priority to projects that develop and bring to market approaches to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from natural gas system compression, including the use of electrification.
In carrying out the program under subsection (a), the Secretary shall carry out science-based activities to pursue— improved efficiency of natural gas pipeline systems, including gas gathering systems and gas transmission systems, in order to reduce compressor fuel consumption in these systems, through improved technology and operational practice; and lowered barriers to electrification of compression in pipeline systems. To carry out this section, there is authorized to be appropriated $10,000,000, to remain available until expended.
