Description
The Reducing Industrial Sector Emissions in Pennsylvania (RISE PA) program is a landmark $396 million initiative administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and funded by the U.S. EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants under the Inflation Reduction Act. RISE PA is designed to drive significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) and co-pollutant emissions from Pennsylvania’s industrial sector—the state’s largest emissions source—by supporting decarbonization projects at industrial facilities. Eligible activities include industrial electrification, energy efficiency improvements, low-carbon fuel adoption, on-site renewable energy installation, carbon capture and storage, and mitigation of fugitive emissions. The program is structured into three award tracks (Small-scale, Medium-scale, and Large-scale), each with specific eligibility, cost share, and funding parameters. RISE PA aims to deliver substantial climate, economic, and workforce benefits across the Commonwealth.
