Data collected under the PROVE IT Act would measure the carbon emissions of certain goods in the US and other nations.

On June 7, 2023, US Senators Chris Coons and Kevin Cramer introduced the bipartisan Providing Reliable, Objective, Verifiable Emissions Intensity and Transparency Act (PROVE IT Act or Bill) to the Senate. The 17-page proposed legislation, if adopted, would direct the Department of Energy (DOE) to conduct a comprehensive study comparing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of certain goods produced in the United States — such as aluminum, cement, crude oil, steel, and plastic — to the emissions intensity of those same goods produced in other countries.
