The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, & Energy (EGLE) recently announced the launch of a new funding opportunity to help Michigan’s industrial sector plan practical, cost-effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while strengthening competitiveness in a rapidly evolving global market.
The $1.8M grant program is the latest installment in the broader MI Healthy Climate Challenge program, a key EGLE initiative to support the state’s MI Healthy Climate Plan, Michigan’s roadmap to a 100% carbon-neutral economy by 2050.
This latest challenge, dubbed “Go Big, Go Clean,” will fund facility-level feasibility studies to give awardees clear, actionable information to assess efficiency opportunities and investment decisions. It aims to enhance Michigan’s leadership in meeting growing global demand for low-emission products while maintaining a strong and competitive industrial base.
The program is open to Michigan-based industrial companies, nonprofits, universities and research institutions, and technical or consulting firms applying in partnership with Michigan industrial facilities. Grant funding can support a wide range of activities, including energy and process assessments, engineering and technical feasibility studies, scenario modeling and long-term planning, and other work.
Complete details, including application timelines, eligibility requirements, and program materials, are available on EGLE’s website.
