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 Miccosukee Energy Transition project proposes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by implementing vehicle electrification with solar-powered charging stations, introducing a public transport system, and enhancing energy efficiency in new Tribal residences. These initiatives will benefit Tribal members through improved air quality, cost savings, and enhanced public health.
Project estimated to reduce 12,900 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2030, as well as 65,800 metric tons of CO2 between 2025 and 2050.
