Funds demonstration trials evaluating additives and dietary modifications that have the potential to reduce enteric methane emissions in the dairy and livestock sectors.  

The funding allocated was directed towards the dairy and livestock sectors for demonstration projects to: 

• Supplement feed with additives or ingredients, that have scientifically demonstrated efficacy in reducing methane emissions, and 

• Research dietary modifications that are intended to reduce methane emissions from livestock 

The Equitable Building Decarbonization Program funds two efforts: the direct install program and an incentives program. Both programs incentivize installation of all-electric appliances, energy efficiency and weatherization measures, and related building upgrades.

The Inclusive, Diverse, Equitable, Accessible, and Local (IDEAL) Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Workforce Pilot funds projects that support ZEVs, ZEV infrastructure, and ZEV-related commercial technologies in California, with focus on priority populations.

Adoption of on-site renewable energy technologies (such as wind and solar) at agricultural operations.

Establishment, enhancement, and expansion of community spaces and parks, tree planting, green infrastructure in streets and alleys, and the construction of active transportation infrastructure.

Community Composting for Green Spaces Grant increases the number of community groups operating small-scale composting programs in green spaces within disadvantaged and low-income communities, and to increase the capacity of those composting programs. Green spaces include, but are not limited to, community gardens, urban farms, and other public spaces where small-scale composting is appropriate.

Funds projects to prevent food waste from being generated and/or becoming landfill waste, promotes distribution of rescued food to people, and requires food waste residuals to be composted or digested when available.

Provides grants for the construction, renovation, or expansion of facilities to preprocess, digest, or compost organics into compost, soil amendments, biofuels, or bioenergy.

The construction, renovation, or expansion of facilities to process or manufacture value-added products from California-derived, newly diverted fiber, plastic, or glass waste.

The purpose of this competitive grant program is to lower overall greenhouse gas emissions by expanding and improving waste diversion in California through reuse.

Natural shoreline projects that restore wetlands, watersheds and coastal habitats, and conserve land. Projects protect existing natural lands, restore or enhance habitats to enhance resilience to climate change for wildlife, maintain vegetative communities that sequester carbon, and provide habitat stability and resistance to natural disasters such as flooding, wildfire, or protection from sea level rise.

Protects communities and natural resources from sea level rise, with a focus on adaptation of public infrastructure along the coast including urban waterfronts, ports, and ecosystems.

This program funds the restoration of California wetlands and watersheds.

The purpose of this new California Natural Resources Agency program is to increase local capacity in the northern, central, and southern regions of the State to develop region-wide plans and shovel-ready projects for forest restoration, fire protection, and watershed improvements in support of the California Forest Carbon Plan.

Funding for affordable housing, active transportation, transit, and solar photovoltaic systems.

The Strategic Growth Council’s Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation (SALC) Program protects critical agricultural lands from conversion to more GHG-intensive residential uses by facilitating conservation easements and strategy plans that result in direct protection of at-risk lands.

Community Assistance for Climate Equity (CACE) is a suite of capacity building programs that aim to equip underinvested communities at the frontlines of the climate crisis with the tools to access funding for climate adaptation, mitigation, and resilience.

Through the Training and Workforce Development Program, the California Conservation Corps employs young adults for a year of service resulting in job skills and work experience to launch meaningful careers. Corpsmembers implement forest fuel reduction, habitat restoration, and energy efficiency projects which reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Strategic Growth Council’s Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Program funds community-driven, collaborative projects and planning activities that integrate a variety of California Climate Investments project types to create transformative change at the neighborhood level.

This program provides a variety of clean mobility projects (including car share, bike share, vanpool, and ridesourcing) in disadvantaged communities using advanced clean vehicles (zero-emission or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) and associated infrastructure.

Vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission, trucks and buses, including funding for charging or fueling infrastructure.

Rebates for the purchase or lease of new, eligible light-duty vehicles, including electric, fuel-cell, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

Air Grants fund projects that provide support for California community-based organizations and California tribes. Grants help awardees participate in the AB 617 process, and to build capacity to become active partners with government to identify, evaluate, and ultimately reduce air pollution and exposure to harmful emissions in their communities.

Incentive grants to help owners of older high-polluting vehicles and equipment replace them with newer models that have much lower emissions—or zero emissions.

Funding Agricultural Replacement Measures for Emission Reductions funds agricultural harvesting equipment, heavy-duty trucks, agricultural pump engines, tractors, and other equipment used in agricultural operations.

The Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP) aims to address community residents’ transportation needs, increase access to key destinations (e.g., schools, grocery stores, workplaces, community centers, medical facilities), and reduce GHG emissions. STEP has the flexibility to fund many different types of projects to ensure that STEP funds can help meet the needs of each community within that community’s context.

This program provides financial incentives to implement non-digester practices to reduce or avoid methane emissions, including solid separation, conversion from flush to scrape manure collection and enhanced pasture-based management practices.

The development of dairy digesters that reduce methane emissions from manure and the research and demonstration projects that study manure management practices which reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Funds the operations of the CAL FIRE Fire Prevention program. This includes a variety of fire prevention services and programs in the State Responsibility Area such as defensible space inspections, fire prevention education, fire hazard severity mapping, implementation of the State and local fire plans, evacuation routes, and infrastructure.

Reforestation, prescribed fire, forest fuel reduction, pest management, conservation easements and fee acquisitions, and forest biomass utilization.
