Energy Programs
California’s energy sector—including use of electricity and natural gas—accounts for about half of the State’s near-term greenhouse gas emissions. In October 2015, the Governor signed Senate Bill 350, which requires the State to double building energy efficiency and increase renewable energy to 50 percent by 2030. California Climate Investments provide funding for energy efficiency and clean energy generation, reduced energy and water use through installation of more efficient appliances and replacement of agricultural equipment. Residential energy efficiency programs support low-income homeowners in disadvantaged communities to improve their homes through weatherization and appliance and solar installation projects.

Provides financial incentives to eligible projects in California for the demonstration or scale-up of the production, processing, delivery, storage, or end use of clean hydrogen.
Provides financial support to initiatives promoting direct air capture, which directly removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere from any location in California through physical processes, chemical processes, or both.
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.
Promote the adoption of new low-GWP refrigerant technologies; recycling, recovery, reclamation, or destruction of high-GWP refrigerants services to achieve short- and long-term climate benefits, energy efficiency, and other co-benefits.
The California Air Resources Board provides funding to local air districts to offer vouchers or rebates to replace old, inefficient, and highly polluting residential wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces used for primary space heating with cleaner, more efficient home heating devices.
Installation of energy efficiency measures and upgrades like solar PV and health and safety improvements for farmworker dwellings at no cost to residents.
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.
