To ensure that the solid carbon produced from a methane pyrolysis project is not converted to CO2 that is subsequently released, taxpayers would be required to track the end use of their solid carbon through an "End-Use Plan. "The End-Use Plan would account for any solid carbon produced, and its end use, for a period of seven years, starting when the project first produces hydrogen. 2, record 1, English, - Carbon%20End%2DUse%20Plan
