About the DEQ Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program
The Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Program is one of many federal funding opportunities for states, local governments, tribes, and territories to develop plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful air pollution. The grant was created through the Inflation Reduction Act and is run through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Through this planning grant, the state of Oregon created a Priority Climate Action Plan and submitted it to EPA on Feb. 29, 2024. In July 2024, EPA announced that Oregon would receive $197 million to implement the measures developed through the PCAP.
