RISE PA, funded through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Pollution Reduction Grants under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, offers funding for small-, medium-, and large-scale decarbonization projects at industrial facilities to reduce greenhouse gas and co-pollutant emissions.

PA DEP is accepting applications for the medium- and large-scale award tracks. Eligible projects must reduce industrial sector emissions through industrial electrification, efficiency and process emissions reductions, switching to low-carbon fuels, installing on-site renewable energy, utilizing carbon capture and storage, and reducing fugitive emissions from natural gas and oil systems and coal mining.
