What it would do
- The Department of Energy must create a program supporting research, development, and commercial use of low-emissions production methods.
- These methods must make cement, concrete, or asphalt production more cost-effective, durable, or efficient in using resources.
- The program must emphasize carbon capture, energy-efficient processes, new materials, and other specified technologies.
- The department must choose government, nonprofit, educational, or private-sector groups to carry out demonstration projects.
- It may end projects if enough qualifying low-emissions materials are commercially available at reasonable prices.
- The program ends seven years after the bill becomes law.

Official summary from the Congressional Research Service
Innovative Mitigation Partnerships for Asphalt and Concrete Technologies Act or the IMPACT Act This bill requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a temporary program that supports advanced production of low-emissions cement, concrete, and asphalt. Specifically, the program must support research, development, and commercial application of production processes for low-emissions cement, concrete, and asphalt that are more cost-effective, durable, or resource-efficient (i.e., advanced production). The program must particularly focus on carbon capture technologies, energy-efficient processes, research involving novel materials, and other specified technologies and innovative processes. DOE must select entities to implement relevant demonstration projects; eligible entities include government, nonprofit, educational, and private sector entities. DOE may terminate these projects if it determines that sufficient amounts of low-emissions cement, concrete, and asphalt that are produced through advanced production are commercially available at reasonable prices. The program terminates seven years after the bill is enacted.
