Waste Diversion Programs
California Climate Investments programs are targeting greenhouse gas emissions through waste diversion efforts. CalRecycle is reducing methane emissions through a portfolio of programs that include food waste prevention and community composting, as well as organic waste digesters and co-digestion at wastewater treatment plants. Captured methane from these projects can be used to offset fossil fuel emissions from the transportation and energy sectors, further reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Grants for recycling facilities also reduce emissions by offsetting the emission associated with extraction and processing of virgin materials.
