The Biden administration has announced a $6 billion investment in clean energy technologies to tackle industrial greenhouse gas emissions, with 33 projects selected across more than 20 states. Companies like Kraft Heinz, Unilever, and Diageo Americas Supply are set to receive funding to electrify and update their facilities, aiming to slash emissions significantly. The projects, which include ice cream and whiskey manufacturing, as well as iron, steel, cement, and concrete production, are expected to collectively prevent the equivalent of more than 14 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually and reduce other forms of pollution. Close to eighty percent of the projects are located in disadvantaged communities, and awardees are required to create community benefits plans.
