Overview
Grant Description
Description: The purpose of this award is to provide funding under the Inflation Reduction Act to the Lower Sioux Indian Community.
The recipient will implement greenhouse gas reduction programs, policies, projects, and measures identified in a priority climate action plan developed under a Climate Pollution Reduction Grants planning grant.
Activities conducted through this grant will benefit all residents and visitors to Lower Sioux Tribal lands in southern Minnesota through four main objectives:
Implementation of ambitious measures that will achieve significant cumulative greenhouse gas reductions by 2030 and beyond;
Pursuit of measures that will achieve substantial community benefits, particularly in low-income and disadvantaged communities;
Complementing other funding sources to maximize these greenhouse gas reductions and community benefits; and,
Pursuit of innovative policies and programs that are replicable and can be 'scaled up' across multiple jurisdictions.
Activities: The Lower Sioux Indian Community Climate Pollution Reduction Grant implementation project focuses on the greenhouse gas measure to improve energy efficiency of residential and government buildings within the tribal community.
The activities will include energy audits and pre-weatherization work to assess conditions, identify deficiencies, and enable the buildings ready for the weatherization work.
A component of the weatherization work is to utilize a hemp-based biomass building material for insulation (Hempcrete).
Cold climate air source heat pumps will be installed in buildings where applicable to reduce the use of propane gas for heating.
Subrecipient: No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include energy efficiency audits and weatherization of 80 tribal residential and government buildings utilizing a biomass material (Hempcrete) for insulation.
Additionally, cold climate air source heat pumps will be installed in tribal government buildings to reduce propane gas use for heating.
The expected outcomes include 80 residential and government buildings reducing their carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 1,362.7 metric tons from 2025-2030, and an estimated 7,322.2 metric tons from 2025-2050.
The intended beneficiaries include low-income and disadvantaged communities of the Lower Sioux Indian Reservation, which will enjoy improved energy efficient housing, lower energy costs, and improved air quality.
