March 18, 2021

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) is pleased to submit a statement for the record to the United States House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change hearing entitled, "The CLEAN Future Act: Industrial Climate Policies to Create Jobs and Support Working Communities."

To tackle the climate crisis, it is crucial to lead with science and U.S. innovation. We must incentivize the adoption of innovative and sustainable technologies and practices and streamline and expedite regulatory pathways for breakthrough technology solutions to reduce carbon in hard-to-abate sectors. 

BIO is committed to working with Committee, Congress, and the Administration to address the climate crisis. We urge to support policy that advances pioneering technology breakthroughs. With science, we can return our Nation and the world to health and prosperity by taking bold and drastic action to address the climate crisis.
