The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced 25 selected applications for over $4.3 billion in grants to implement community-driven solutions to the climate crisis, reduce air pollution, advance environmental justice, and accelerate America’s clean energy transition. The selected applications will fund state, local, and Tribal entities located in 30 states.
The grants will be funded through the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program, which was created under the Inflation Reduction Act.
The PA Department of Environmental Protection was awarded nearly $400 million for a grant program called Reducing Industrial Sector Emissions in PA, or RISE-PA. The RISE-PA grant will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial sector through a competitive grants program and incentives for small-, medium-, and large-scale decarbonization projects across Pennsylvania.
