Overview
The Great Plains Institute accelerates the transition to net-zero carbon emissions to benefit people, the economy, and the environment. Leading with trust, inclusion, equity, and pragmatism, the institute advances strategies that increase energy conservation, efficiency, and productivity; decarbonize the production of electricity and electrify more of the economy; adopt zero-, low-, and carbon-negative fuels and practices to decarbonize whatever cannot be electrified across the other major emissions sectors; and deploy carbon capture, removal, transport, use, and storage to achieve a net reduction of emissions in the atmosphere.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Industrial Innovation and Carbon Management program
The Great Plains Institute seeks to accelerate the transition to net-zero carbon emissions to benefit people, the economy, and the environment. To achieve net-zero emissions to meet midcentury climate goals, carbon management and industrial decarbonization projects must be built at a large scale and on an accelerated timeframe, while prioritizing meaningful engagement and workforce development in local communities. This grant supports the institute’s work to conduct analysis, advance a regulatory and implementation agenda, do outreach, and drive communications strategies.
