The US Energy Department on Monday announced $6 billion in federal funding to subsidize 33 industrial projects in 20 states to cut carbon emissions, saying the investment would support well-paying union jobs and boost US competitiveness.
The Portland Cement Association, an industry group, said the funding “is a welcome acknowledgement from the government that America’s cement manufacturers are taking ambitious and significant steps toward reaching carbon neutrality.” Granholm said the projects would slash emissions from industries such as iron and steel, cement, concrete, aluminum, chemicals, food and beverages, pulp and paper, which account for about a third of US carbon emissions.
“A new domestic smelter puts the US back in the game and reverses our dangerous, decades-long decline in primary aluminum production,” said Joe Quinn, director of the Center for Strategic Industrial Materials at SAFE.
