Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Relocation Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill would require the Department of Energy to move its Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management out of Washington, D.C. The office would be relocated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by the end of 2026.
• The move aims to place the office closer to the heart of the nation's energy production regions. Supporters believe this will help government officials better understand the needs of the coal and natural gas industries.
• The Department of Energy would have to track how many employees quit their jobs because of the move. A report would be sent to Congress explaining how the agency plans to fill those empty positions and how the move affected union negotiations.
• The relocation must be completed by December 31, 2026. This would involve moving hundreds of federal jobs and resources from the nation's capital to western Pennsylvania.
