What happened
The Colorado Energy Office announced it is awarding $13.9 million in taxpayer funds to help companies reduce pollution from factories and industrial sites. This funding is part of the state’s Clean Air Program, which was established by the Colorado General Assembly in 2022. The funds include direct payments and refundable tax credits for businesses.

Why it matters
The program uses state income and sales taxes to incentivize industrial operations to adopt pollution-cutting technologies. Officials state the projects should reduce emissions equivalent to removing 14,507 gas-powered cars from the road annually.
