As part of the Inflation Reduction Act, $5 billion was allocated
to the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program (CPRG). The
CPRG provides funding to develop and implement plans to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and beyond and accelerate
decarbonization across one or more major sectors responsible for
GHG emissions (i.e., industry, electric power, transportation,
commercial and residential buildings, agriculture/natural and
working lands, and waste and materials management). Examples
include programs and incentives to reduce or divert waste
(including food and/or yard waste) through improved production
practices, improved collection services, and increased reuse or
recycling rates, or targeted incentives for installation of
renewable energy and energy storage systems on commercial and
residential buildings, among other measures.
Counties are eligible to apply, including local air pollution
control agencies, departments, or other municipal government
offices. The Notice of Funding Opportunity can be found
here. Applications are due April 1st with a Notice
of Intent to Apply due February 1st.

funding by listening in on an informational webinar: CA
