Check out my convo with Amanda Li of Banyan Infrastructure on the latest episode of the Climate Capital CC Pod!

🌿🌍 Exciting News for Sustainable Finance! The Biden-Harris Administration just announced $20B in grants for clean energy and climate solutions, advancing equity. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allocated funds from its Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for two initiatives: the National Clean Investment Fund and the Clean Communities Investment Accelerator. These will provide affordable financing for clean energy projects, especially in low-income communities. This initiative aims to reduce climate and air pollution, lower energy costs, improve public health, and create clean energy jobs. Kudos to the selected organizations for their pivotal role in driving climate action! Let's harness the power of finance for a cleaner, more equitable future. #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy #GGRF💡🌱

When working in #remediation, it's essential to prioritize eco-friendly products and methods to protect the environment. This involves selecting sustainable remediation techniques, using environmentally friendly materials, and actively preventing further contamination. Exciting news! #RemediationExperts #EcoFriendlyProducts #FullSpectrumRestoration

The synergy between PACE Financing and green roofs/stormwater infrastructure for energy efficiency in commercial buildings is discussed. Eligibility, funding coverage, and successful projects like the Belt Line Center are highlighted, emphasizing financial and environmental benefits. https://lnkd.in/gSxXD9Un

Big news! Today the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $20 billion in grant awards from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). 3 awardees were announced to facilitate the investment of $14 billion in the National Clean Investment Fund, including $7 billion to Climate United, a partnership between Self-Help Credit Union/Self-Help Ventures Fund, Calvert Impact and The Community Preservation Corporation. Climate United will offer affordable, accessible products that lenders can use to bring the benefits of clean technologies to communities on the ground. These funds will allow Climate United partners to accelerate their work in communities across the U.S. by investing in projects that deliver cleaner air, quality jobs, and lower energy bills as we transition to a clean energy future...including better terms on loans for building decarbonization, electric transportation, and distributed energy generation and storage. Congratulations to all the awardees, including our fellow CDFIs at Opportunity Finance Network, Inclusiv, Partners for the Common Good, Community Development Bankers Association, Native CDFI Network, Inc. and others! #cdfis #climatejustice #sustainability #communitydevelopment #greenhousegasreduction #cleanenergy

I believe the term is BFD.

🎉Created under the #InflationReductionAct, this national clean financing network will finance tens of thousands of projects for clean energy and climate solutions, reduce climate emissions and air pollution in communities across the United States, and: 📉Reduce energy costs 📈Improve public health 💰Create good-paying #CleanEnergy jobs Together, this network will help ensure that communities across the country, especially low-income and disadvantaged communities, have access to the capital they need to participate in and benefit from a cleaner, more sustainable economy.

With the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund also the #automotiveindustry 🚗 is receiving extensive support on its path to electromobility. With ~15% of funding dedicated to zero-emissions #transportation, the fund supports the U.S. climate goal of reaching 50 percent zero-emission vehicles share of all new passenger cars and light trucks sold in 2030. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is thus clearing the way for #electricvehicles

It’s great to see the Inflation Reduction Act continue to fund new green projects. We recently covered how this act is transforming the automotive industry, especially through its electric vehicle battery tax incentives and project funding.
