Region communities poised to participate in emissions reduction program

Northwest Indiana communities may have the opportunity to participate, at little cost, in an innovative Indiana University program aimed at identifying and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

On Thursday, the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission agreed to coordinate a regional application to join next year's cohort at IU's Environmental Resilience Institute.

If the Region is accepted, IU interns will help conduct a greenhouse gas inventory in participating communities between April and September 2021, compiling data on the amount of energy consumed, the diversity of energy supplied to the grid, vehicle type and fuel usage distribution, along with other factors.

Using that information, IU then will assist communities in 2022 with developing a climate action plan that sets targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
