Navigating project eligibility for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund
Share
The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) has a $27 billion allocation through the Environmental Protection Agency. Through three complementary but distinct programs, the initiative aims to increase competitive financing options for clean energy projects and catalyze the emergence of green banks, particularly those that support low-income or disadvantaged communities. By investing in innovative technologies and diverse financing strategies, the GGRF aims to drive market development, enhance infrastructure and significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Within the GGRF, the $6 billion Clean Community Investment Accelerator (CCIA) program prioritizes funding for projects that fit into one of three eligible categories:
- Net-zero emissions buildings, including new construction and retrofits
- Zero-emissions transportation and related supporting infrastructure such as electric vehicle charging stations
- Distributed energy generation and storage and related supporting infrastructure
Due to the multi-tiered and broad applicability of the GGRF, there are many opportunities to secure funding for projects that maximize community impact. Understanding the specifics of each GGRF allocation category is crucial for stakeholders to design projects that align with eligibility requirements, maintain compliance and advance clean energy investment goals. This webinar will help participating entities navigate eligibility considerations and develop effective strategies for securing and deploying CCIA funding for qualified projects.
In this session, subject matter experts will describe the following:
- GGRF overview and specific benefit of CCIA dollars for eligible energy projects
- Deep dive into eligibility considerations for priority project types:
- Net-zero building projects
- Electric/zero-emissions transportation
- Distributed energy and storage - Designing for compliance with federal regulations
- How to use the low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDAC) mapping tool
- Action steps to take today
