RISE PA meet recently for networking, partnering and tech assistance around its $396 million statewide industrial decarbonization program - one of the biggest state-level decarbonization grants in history. RISE PA is in its second round of grantmaking and will provide nearly $54 million for medium and large industrial decarbonization projects in Pennsylvania, with up to 20% bonuses for projects with strong community benefits and fair labor components. (Deadline for applications is Friday, July 31.)

RISE PA states that by funding innovative projects, it has the potential to create thousands of good-paying jobs, lower energy costs for industry and increase Pennsylvania’s manufacturing competitiveness.
