Opportunity Title:
Commercializing Industrial Decarbonization
Opportunity Number:
GFO-22-301

The industrial sector has significant potential for improvements in energy and water efficiency but is a difficult sector in which to promote energy efficiency and to decarbonize. Each individual facility has unique operational needs, has a mix of old and new equipment, lacks easy access to actionable operation data for decision–making, and lacks verified performance data under real-world conditions for promising emerging technologies.
The purpose of this solicitation is to fund technology development and demonstration projects of promising pre-commercial technologies to accelerate industrial decarbonization and increase overall energy efficiency to reach statewide goals set forth by SB 32[1], SB 100[2], and SB 350[3].
