This webinar will offer information for attendees to learn more about the carbon conversion and utilization funding opportunity under the Utilization and Procurement Grants Program (UPGrants.) Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and managed through DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM), the Carbon Utilization Procurement Grants program helps offset 50% of the costs to states, local governments, and public utilities or agencies to procure and use products developed through the conversion of captured carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emissions. The commercial or industrial products to be purchased and used under these grants must demonstrate a significant net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to incumbent products via a life cycle analysis (LCA). LCAs are reviewed and approved by DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).

The webinar will include information for product purchasers, product manufacturers and vendors, and information on how to compile and submit LCAs for review and approval.
