The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $300 million in Climate Pollution Reduction Grants to 34 Tribal nations and territories. These grants, part of President Biden's Investing in America agenda, aim to cut climate pollution and accelerate the clean energy transition. The projects include installing solar arrays, improving energy efficiency, and developing electric vehicle infrastructure. This marks one of the largest climate investments in Tribal and territorial communities.
The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi will implement greenhouse gas reduction projects in multiple sectors including measures to reduce emissions by expanding Tribal recycling programs, converting the commercial vehicle fleet to electric vehicles, promoting energy efficient lighting fixtures in the local greenhouse, and supporting habitat restoration efforts.
Project estimated to reduce 2,100 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2030, as well as 9,200 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2050.
