EPA Climate Pollution Grants Fund Some Ag, Rural Energy Projects

From an article in Progressive Farmer by Chris Clayton , DTN Ag Policy Editor

OMAHA (DTN) -- The Environmental Protection Agency on Monday announced more than $4.3 billion in grants to reduce climate pollution in projects across 30 states, looking to reduce nearly 1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide with the funds.

At least some of the projects also would help develop climate-smart agricultural practices or reduce livestock pollution.

EPA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grants will fund 25 projects -- some involve multiple states -- that lower greenhouse-gas emissions from a particular industry or sequester carbon. Nearly all the projects also have some component of developing renewable energy or saving energy through efficiency.
