"Record $6 Billion Investment to Decarbonize Heavy Industries and Curb Climate Emissions"
The Biden administration has pledged $6 billion for pilot projects in 20 states to spur a green revolution in heavy industries, which are a major source of pollution. These projects aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing and construction activities by investing in technologies such as using hydrogen instead of coal to make steel, electrified processes to make cement, alternative types of cement, and carbon capture and storage. The investment also prioritizes disadvantaged communities that have experienced years of divestment, aiming to benefit them with a healthier environment and job opportunities.
