The Trump administration is considering cutting a federal grant program that aims to decarbonize heavy industry. That includes more than $700 million for three projects in Indiana.

The joint venture by Stellantis and Samsung SDI is expected to create thousands of jobs. The plants will make battery cells and modules which will then be sold to Stellantis for use in their electric vehicle models sold in North America.

BP plans to make what’s called “blue” hydrogen — using fossil fuels to make hydrogen and then storing its carbon emissions underground. That hydrogen could be used to reduce emissions in Indiana industries that are hard to decarbonize — like oil refining and steelmaking.

The DOE said the project would revitalize a community that lost jobs with the decline of the coal industry. But residents said, so far, the federal government has ignored their safety concerns.

International Recycling Group Erie’s recycling facility in Pennsylvania would make plastic pellets to replace coke in steel blast furnaces — which generate a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. But activists worry using the plastic would release hazardous chemicals into the air and storing it would be a fire hazard.

At most nuclear power plants today, the waste — also called spent fuel — stays on the property where it was created.
