Climate Pollution Reduction Grant | NC DEQ The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality and State Energy Office is partnering with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure the health and well-being of North Carolinians and to support initiatives to mitigate climate destabilization through the reduction of harmful air pollutants, also known as greenhouse gases (GHG).
North Carolina has a clear and vested interest to improve resilience from increased storm frequency and intensity, to produce reliable and affordable clean energy, and to improve the air quality in NC. Additionally, much of NC’s infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to changing climatic conditions.
As a part of the Inflation Reduction Act, the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant program provides states, local governments, territories and tribes with funds to develop and implement plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful air pollutants. In 2024, North Carolina submitted multiple applications for an implementation grant.
The EPA awarded a bipartisan multi-state coalition led by the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources $421 million to support conservation and restoration of natural lands across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland.
The Comprehensive Climate Action Plan is now available The CCAP identifies resilience and carbon reduction measures to meet Executive Order 246’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. As part of the CPRG planning program, North Carolina is required to develop a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP).
The PCAP identifies the state's highest priority greenhouse gas reduction measures. The CCAP will update and expand upon North Carolina’s existing climate strategies, ensuring these documents align with the latest available science, modeling, and best practices. About the PCAP About the CCAP July 2023: EPA awards CPRG planning funds to DEQ.
March 2024: DEQ submits the PCAP to the EPA April 2024: DEQ submitted the implementation workplan to the EPA December 2025: DEQ submitted the CCAP to the EPA July 2023: EPA awards CPRG planning funds to DEQ. DEQ received a $3 million award in July 2023 for planning activities.
The CPRG planning grant and process will cover all of NC and includes ways to reduce greenhouse gas and other air pollutants in two phases: Development of a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) to identify near-term and high impact projects and strategies to reduce GHG and other air pollutant emissions.
Development of a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) to implement a longer-term statewide plan to reduce GHG and other air pollutant emissions. March 2024: DEQ submits the PCAP to the EPA The PCAP was developed with stakeholder and public engagement and identifies North Carolina’s highest priority greenhouse gas reduction measures and the path to ensure equitable implementation for the benefit all North Carolinians.
April 2024: DEQ submitted the implementation workplan to the EPA On April 1, 2025, NC DEQ and the SEO submitted a grant totaling nearly $200 million to support priority, shovel ready projects across the state that could produce significant reductions in greenhouse gases as outlined in the PCAP. EPA did not fund DEQ's implementation workplan.
The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (DNCR) did receive an award of $421,238,074 and is leading a four-state coalition to protect and restore wetlands and forests on natural and working lands. DNCR will receive $50,000,000 to protect and restore wetlands and forests on natural and working lands in NC.
The coalition will also allocate funds to the Maryland Department of the Environment, the South Carolina Office of Resilience, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and the Virginia DEQ. December 2025: DEQ submitted the CCAP to the EPA The second deliverable of the CPRG program was the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP).
The CCAP updated and expanded upon North Carolina’s existing climate strategies, ensuring that these planning documents align with the latest available science, modeling, and best practices. This plan aligned with existing goals and requirements for reducing GHG emissions and increasing clean energy generation. This plan covered all source sectors of the GHG inventory.
The CCAP was submitted to EPA by December 2025. The CCAP planning document contains current and projected GHG emissions levels and benefits.

It offers $2 million to $8 million grants for new zero-emission storage, load flexibility, distributed generation and microgrids that must dispatch during extreme events for at least three seasons. Because SB 105 reserves $12.5 million to $23 million for GRIP water utility projects, the competitive pool is smaller than the headline. What the solicitation requires and how to build a winning application before the November 5 workshop.
