2 U.S.C. § 2162 — Capitol Power Plant
Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
**(a) Designation** The heating, lighting, and power plant constructed under the terms of the Act approved April 28, 1904 (33 Stat. 479, chapter 1762) shall be known as the “Capitol Power Plant”.
**(b) Definition** In this section, the term “carbon dioxide energy efficiency” means the quantity of electricity used to power equipment for carbon dioxide capture and storage or use.
**(c) Feasibility study** The Architect of the Capitol shall conduct a feasibility study evaluating the available methods to capture, store, and use carbon dioxide emitted from the Capitol Power Plant as a result of burning fossil fuels. In carrying out the feasibility study, the Architect of the Capitol is encouraged to consult with individuals with expertise in carbon capture and storage or use, including experts with the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, academic institutions, non-profit organizations, and industry, as appropriate. The study shall consider—
(1) the availability of technologies to capture and store or use Capitol Power Plant carbon dioxide emissions;
(2) strategies to conserve energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions at the Capitol Power Plant; and
(3) other factors as determined by the Architect of the Capitol.
**(d) Demonstration projects**
(1) **In general** — If the feasibility study determines that a demonstration project to capture and store or use Capitol Power Plant carbon dioxide emissions is technologically feasible and economically justified (including direct and indirect economic and environmental benefits), the Architect of the Capitol may conduct 1 or more demonstration projects to capture and store or use carbon dioxide emitted from the Capitol Power Plant as a result of burning fossil fuels.
