U.S. allocates $196 MM for natural gas pipeline modernization
The U.S. government will award grants totaling $196 MM for the repair and replacement of aging natural gas pipelines across 20 states, the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration announced on Tuesday.
The grants, funded by President Joe Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will support 60 modernization projects.
This round of funding will focus on replacing old, leak-prone pipes that pose safety hazards, inflate energy costs and contribute to environmental harm.
"Aging, leak-prone natural gas pipes can be dangerous, drive up energy costs for families, and harm the environment, which is why the Biden-Harris Administration is supporting funds to replace aging pipelines," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a statement.
"We are making significant progress in our efforts to cut pollution – including super-pollutants like methane – while creating thousands of good union jobs and lowering energy costs for Americans," said White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi.
