Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management Relocation Act of 2025

This bill would move the Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management from Washington, DC, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The move must happen by December 31, 2026. After the move, the agency must send Congress a report within one year about how many employees left because of the move, what caused those losses, how the agency will deal with them, and how the move affected employees’ ability to negotiate workplace conditions through their representatives.

In short, the goal is to relocate the office and then check on how the move affected the workforce and operations, especially staffing and employee representation.

• Who is affected: The Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management and its employees.
• What changes: The office must relocate from DC to Pittsburgh; a follow-up report to Congress is required on staffing and employee representation impacts.
• When: Move completed by December 31, 2026; report due within one year after the move.
