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 Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians selected application will fund the installation of solar arrays, retrofitting of buildings with HVAC Air-source and ground source heat pumps, and development and installation of electric vehicle charging stations across the Tribal government campus.
Project estimated to reduce 1,300 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2030, as well as 15,700 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2050.
