good-paying jobs. EPA received $41.5
billion in appropriations to develop and
support 24 new and existing programs
that monitor and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and air pollution, protect
health and advance environmental
justice.
These new programs funded by the
IRA Sections 60112 and 60116 will
provide grants, technical assistance, and
tools, including a carbon label, to
advance the President’s bold agenda to
combat the climate crisis, protect public
health and advance environmental
justice. The new programs will help
manufacturers, institutional buyers, real
estate developers, builders and others
measure, report and substantially lower
the levels of embodied carbon and other
greenhouse gas emissions associated
with the production, use and disposal of
construction materials and products
including steel, concrete, asphalt and
glass. Additionally, this work will
support President Biden’s Buy Clean
Task Force which is developing
recommendations for Federal
procurement and federally funded
projects that would expand
consideration of greenhouse gas
emissions and other pollutants
associated with construction materials.
