ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND DECARBONIZATION
Reducing Embodied Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Construction Materials and Products Grant Program
Who is this program for?
Businesses that manufacture, remanufacture, and/or refurbish construction materials and products, and U.S. states and territories, Indian Tribes, and nonprofit organizations that will support such businesses.
How Does this Program work?
- EPA anticipates awarding up to $100 million in grants and cooperative agreements in fiscal year 2024 with additional funds made available over the course of the program, subject to the availability of funds, the quantity and quality of applications received, agency priorities, and other applicable considerations
- Awards will be issued and managed by the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing program within EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention
- EPA plans to award up to 40 grants, cooperative agreements, and/or pass-through cooperative agreements in fiscal year 2024
- PA envisions funded projects to fall under five broad categories
- Robust Data for EPDs: Projects that contribute new and/or improve critical data, analysis, or feedback for producing robust EPDs
- Robust Product Category Rule (PCR) Standard Development, PCRs, and Associated Conformity Assessment Systems: Projects that encourage the development of robust, standardized PCRs, including identifying what data needs to be collected for EPDs, how that data should be collected, how it should be reported in EPDs, and what transparency and verification needs to be in place to ensure credible EPDs
- Robust Tools & Resources to Support & Incentivize Development and Verification of EPDs: Projects that contribute to the development of tools and resources to make it easier, faster, and more cost effective to produce and disclose robust EPDs
- EPD Development and Verification: Projects that offer construction material and product manufacturers assistance in producing robust EPDs, or in which a construction material or product manufacturer is producing robust EPDs
- Robust EPD Data Platforms and Integration: Projects that support EPD reporting, availability, and verification; support the standardization of disparate EPD systems; and support future EPD integration into construction design and procurement systems
