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 selected application will support the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska in achieving energy sovereignty and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by installing a microgrid powered by renewable energy sources and providing no-cost installation of air-source heat pumps and electric water heaters for residential households located on Tribal land.
Project estimated to reduce 9,700 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2030, as well as 55,600 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2050.
