Cook Announces $36 Million in Energy-Sector Grants in the 50th District

April 29, 2026

HARRISBURG – Rep. Bud Cook (R Greene/Washington) announced today grants for two employers who hire individuals who live in the 50th District. The grants, which in total are for a little more than $36 million, will be used to help cut greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy costs and strengthen the area’s industrial economy.

The companies receiving grants are:
• CNX Green Ventures LLC - $31.5 million to install special ventilation wells at the Enlow Fork coal mine. The project will use a pipeline system to safely capture and transport the methane for offsite processing.
• Iron Senergy Holding LLC. - $4.8 million to install a device to capture coal mine methane.

“We need to continue to grow Pennsylvania’s energy sector and pursue policies that unleash its full potential,” Cook said. “Our communities in the 50th District have the resources and the workforce to lead the way. By investing in projects that reduce emissions while supporting the industries that drive our economy, we can create jobs, lower costs for families and strengthen our area’s future.”

This funding is awarded as part of the Medium-scale Award Track (MAT) and Large-scale Award Track (LAT) of the Reducing Industrial Sector Emissions in Pennsylvania (RISE PA) program. In total, more than $267 million was awarded to manufacturing projects across Pennsylvania through the RISE PA program.
