Climate Pollution Reduction Grants
Intent to Apply Deadline is March 31st
The federal government is about to release $4.6 Billion in funding to address Climate Change via the EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grants.
This funding will go to state-wide efforts to reduce greenhouse gasses (GHGs). However, it goes well beyond GHG emissions by focusing on the full spectrum of decarbonization. Materials management has an important and unique role in achieving energy efficiency, complementing the transition to clean energy and community decarbonization. There is embodied energy and carbon in every material produced, consumed, and, eventually unwanted. Recycling and composting, along with waste reduction and reuse, play a strong role in reducing carbon, recovering, and recirculating materials to prevent more GHGs.
State Recycling Organizations (SROs), cities, and counties should have a seat at the table in reducing climate pollution. Your State Recycling Organization or local government is eligible for this funding as long as your state has a Climate Action Plan.State leaders must notify the federal EPA of their intention to apply for these funds by March 31 and complete a work plan and budget by April 30, 2023.
Recent efforts undertaken by State environmental agencies to apply for funds to the US EPA may mean they will be able to meet this quick turnaround. The NRC encourages you to take an active role in ensuring that materials management is included as part of this program. We each have ways to reduce the impact of the excessive pollution that is changing our climate. Please reach out to your respective state agencies and find a way to take advantage of this funding opportunity.
The EPA held webinars about this grant on March 2 and 7, 2023. Webinar slides and recordings are posted on the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants website.
