September 20, 2023: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched $4.6 billion in competitive grants to fund state, local, and Tribal programs and policies that cut climate pollution, advance environmental justice, and deploy clean energy solutions across the country. Among the list of potential GHG reduction measures for which applicants may choose to seek CPRG implementation funding include carbon removal measures aimed at restoring degraded lands (e.g. brownfields and mine reclamation) and forested lands to enhance carbon sequestration. In addition, several measures in the water, wastewater and materials management sectors exist for reducing methane and GHG emissions and implementing renewable energy measures.
