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.

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.

The California Workforce Development Board will develop industry-based, worker-focused training partnerships that connect California’s “high road” employers with existing established workforce development programs to build skills and capacity for training and employment within various employment sectors.

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

Actionable, partnership-based climate change research that integrates community research partners into the process from the start as funded partners, co-leads, or collaborators to inform climate actions that directly benefit California communities.

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.

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.

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.

Funding to conduct mobile air monitoring in communities across the state.

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.

Technical assistance in the form of hands-on application assistance to farmers and ranchers participating in the Healthy Soils Program, the State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program, and the Alternative Manure Management Program.

Funds hazardous fuel removal, fire prevention public education, fire prevention and wildfire safety planning.

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.

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

Research projects that investigate priority topics in support of California Forest Carbon Plan Implementation.

Financial incentives for on-farm management practices that sequester carbon, including soil management, establishment of herbaceous and woody cover, and demonstration projects showcasing these practices.
