Food Production Investment Program | California Energy Commission Food Production Investment Program The California Energy Commission’s Food Production Investment Program provides grants to help food processors accelerate the adoption of advanced energy and decarbonization technologies to support electrical grid reliability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Food Production Investment Program (FPIP) was established in 2018 as part of the California Climate Investments (CCI) . FPIP provides grants to help food producers reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and support electric grid reliability through the adoption of advanced energy technologies.
CCI is a statewide initiative that puts billions of dollars of Cap-and-Invest auction proceeds to work reducing GHG emissions, strengthening the economy, improving public health and the environment, and providing meaningful benefits to disadvantaged communities and low-income communities and households.
FPIP is funded through appropriations from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and the California General Fund, consistent with statutory direction under Assembly Bill 109 (2017), Senate Bill 856 (2018), and Assembly Bill 209 (2022). Since its establishment, FPIP has received $150. 2 million in funding — $144 million from the GGRF and $6.
2 million from the General Fund. These funds support grants to food processors for deploying advanced energy efficiency, renewable energy, electrification, and other decarbonization technologies.
FPIP strives to: Help California food processors work towards a low-carbon future, Demonstrate reliability and effectiveness of advanced energy and decarbonization technologies and strategies, Enhance and benefit the electrical grid, especially during net peak periods, and Benefit or improve public health and the environment, particularly in priority populations.
To date, $131 million has been awarded to 59 projects across California’s food processing sector, with the following breakdown: 13 Prepared Food Producers 14 Fruits, Nuts & Vegetables 10 Beverage, Breweries & Wineries 173,000 metric tons CO₂ equivalent (MTCO₂e) projected annual GHG reductions (≈ 37,000 cars off the road). 3. 2 million MTCO₂e estimated lifetime reductions across all projects.
~$112 million in project funding benefits priority populations (disadvantaged and low-income communities). Current cost per ton of GHG reduced: $49. 40/MTCO₂e, among the lowest of all CCI programs.
Historically ranked in the top 10 of 70+ CCI programs for total GHG reductions and cost-effectiveness.
