Moms Clean Air Force's Vanessa Lynch will sit down with DEP’s Louie Krak from the RISE PA Program to discuss what this funding means for the health Pennsylvania families, especially for those living in closest proximity to pollution sources and with higher exposure to the impacts of climate change.
They will also discuss what the federal funding freezes mean for RISE PA.

Background
DEP was awarded $396 million in funding from the EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program established by the federal Inflation Reduction Act.
DEP’s RISE PA Program will offer grants for small-, medium-, and large-scale decarbonization projects at industrial facilities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) and co-pollutant emissions.
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.
The Pennsylvania Technical Assistance Program (PennTAP) is administering the RISE PA program for small and mid-sized industries and has not yet begun to accept applications.
