Funding Resources

As a service to our Partners, EPA's CHP Partnership provides regularly updated lists of state and federal incentives applicable to CHP and biomass/biogas projects, including financial incentives and favorable regulatory treatment. The CHP Partnership updates this information twice a month.

CHP and biomass/biogas funding opportunities are offered by various entities throughout the country, many at the state and federal level. These opportunities take a variety of forms, including:

The Funding Database lists these and other incentives that might be applicable to your CHP project and organizes funding opportunities in two general categories: type of project and type of incentive.
