3. Infrastructure year marches on

​​​​​​



November 2022 marked one year since the enactment of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which made robust investments in energy demonstration projects.

ClearPath is tracking the $62 billion in energy programs

But, applications have yet to be opened for the majority of programs, including the much-awaited Carbon Capture Hubs programs.
