Open funding opportunities for businesses
Explore programs that are now accepting applications for grants, loans, incentives, and more.
Funding will support the deployment and demonstration of pre-commercial and commercial zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle charging and hydrogen refueling infrastructure within the California freight system, transit bus fleets, school bus fleets, and other transportation sectors, including off-road freight transport.
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.
Grants to food processors to implement projects that reduce GHG emissions and onsite energy consumption.
Provides incentives for industrial projects that provide benefits to the electrical grid and reduce GHG emissions and local air pollution. Eligible projects include those that increase energy efficiency, enhance electrical grid reliability, electrify fossil fuel processes, incorporate energy storage or renewable resources, and deploy novel decarbonization technologies and strategies.
Loans to fund construction, renovation, or expansion of facilities for preprocessing, digesting, or composting organics, or the preprocessing or manufacturing of value-added finished products using recycled fiber, plastic, or glass.
California’s high-speed rail system will connect the mega-regions of the State. The Phase 1 system will run from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin in under three hours at speeds capable of over 200 miles per hour. The system will eventually extend to Sacramento and San Diego, totaling 800 miles with up to 24 stations (Phase 2).
Vouchers toward the purchase of zero-emission equipment used in off-road freight transport (such as forklifts, transport refrigeration units, gantry cranes, and terminal trucks).
Vouchers for the purchase of zero-emission, trucks and buses, including funding for charging or fueling infrastructure.
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.
Technical assistance and incentives for the installation of energy-efficiency measures and solar photovoltaics (PV) in low-income multifamily dwellings in disadvantaged and other communities.
The Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund is a part of the Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience (SAFER) Program. SAFER is a set of tools, funding sources, and regulatory authorities designed to meet the goals of safe, accessible, and affordable drinking water for all Californians.
