Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Assistance for Embodied Carbon in Construction Materials
66.721
N/A
The goal of the Reducing Embodied Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Construction Materials and Products grant program is to support the development, enhanced standardization and transparency, and reporting criteria for environmental product declarations (EPDs) which include the measurement of embodied greenhouse gas emissions associated with all relevant stages of production, use, and disposal, in conformance with international standards. In support of this goal, EPA will provide grants to businesses that manufacture, remanufacture, and refurbish construction materials and products for developing and verifying environmental product declarations, and to States, Indian Tribes, and nonprofit organizations that will support such businesses. Under this program, EPA will award in FY25 up to 40 grants, some potentially as "pass-through" grants to eligible entities. Per the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR 200.74), a pass-through entity is defined as a non-Federal entity that provides a subaward to a subrecipient to carry out part of a federal program. This grant program will lead to progress towards achieving the objectives of Section 60112 of the Inflation Reduction Act.
