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 Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community project will help fund a tribal landfill gas conversion project, fleet vehicle electrification, installation of electric vehicle charging stations, facilitation of home energy assessments, implementation of a land buy-back program, and improvements to soil management.
Project estimated to reduce 117,000 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2030, as well as 677,000 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2050.
