Summary

The PROVE IT Act of 2024 requires the Secretary of Energy to study and report on the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of certain products made in the United States and in specific foreign countries, and to create a public database of that data. It also requires an annual report on foreign countries that use human rights abuses to gain a trade advantage.

Sec. 3, Study on greenhouse gas emissions intensity: Within two years of enactment, and again five years later, the Secretary of Energy, with other agencies, must study and report to Congress on the average emissions intensity of covered products made in the U.S. and in covered countries, identify data gaps, and compare U.S. and foreign emissions intensity. The report must include a detailed methodology, data sources, and tariff codes. The Secretary must establish a public online database of the emissions intensity data and comparisons. The bill does not authorize any new tax, fee, or mandatory reporting requirement.

Sec. 4, Annual report on human rights abuses and trade advantage: Starting March 1 of each year, the Secretary of Commerce, with other agencies, must report to Congress on how foreign governments gain a trade advantage by allowing forced labor, child labor, or unsafe working conditions. The report must identify countries that use such abuses to extract critical minerals or rare earths, and be unclassified with a possible classified annex.

Sec. 5, Definitions: Defines key terms including 'average product emissions intensity' as the national average for a product category, 'category of covered products' listing 22 specific product groups (e.g., aluminum, cement, crude oil, steel, solar cells) by their Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes, 'covered country' as G7 members, U.S. free trade agreement signatories, foreign countries of concern, and others with significant market share, 'covered product' as items under those tariff codes, 'greenhouse gas' as defined in existing law, and 'product emissions intensity' as greenhouse gases emitted per unit of product.
