Inflation Reduction Act Provisions for AIM Act Implementation
Through President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, EPA has received an historic amount of funding to leverage our expertise and existing programs, as well as to set up and execute new programs. Implemented by EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation, these programs include funding for projects addressing clean energy, transportation, methane emissions, and climate-damaging HFCs, and will advance the President’s bold agenda to combat the climate crisis, protect public health, and advance environmental justice.
Inflation Reduction Act funding includes $38.5 million to carry out implementation of and compliance with the AIM Act. Of this funding, $15 million is for competitive grants for reclaim and innovative destruction technologies.
To obtain feedback from the public, EPA hosted two one-hour virtual public listening sessions on April 11 and April 13, 2023. The April 11 session focused on reclaim and the April 13 session focused on innovative destruction technologies. Both sessions provided a brief overview of the legislation, information about HFC reclaim and destruction, and an opportunity to provide input for EPA to consider. Presentation materials and further information can be viewed on the HFC Reclaim and Innovative Destruction Grants webpage.
