GFO-26-502 – Integrated Point-Source Carbon Capture and Advanced Combustion at Industrial Facilities

This California Energy Commission grant funds integrated point‑source carbon‑capture systems paired with advanced‑combustion retrofits at existing industrial facilities (e.g., cement, glass, chemicals, steel‑recycling) located within PG&E, SDG&E, or SoCal Gas service territories. Applicants must demonstrate technology at TRL 5 or higher, provide a minimum 20 % match, and achieve measurable reductions in fuel use, NOₓ emissions, and optionally GHG emissions or capture cost. The award supports a 4‑year demonstration period (June 2027 – March 2031) with up to $5,992,293 in CEC funds per project. • Required deliverables include a detailed technical narrative, integrated scope of work, schedule, budget, CEQA compliance, and a knowledge‑transfer case study. • Mandatory matching‑fund documentation, California‑based entity preference, prevailing‑wage compliance, and post‑capture activities must be funded by the applicant’s match. • Evaluation scores are based on technical merit, approach, IOU‑ratepayer impact, team qualifications, budget cost‑effectiveness, and California‑spent‑fund metrics.
