MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • The Budget includes $30 million from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. Funding will be used to provide financial incentives in the form of loans and grants, primarily for capital investments in new facilities and increased throughput at existing facilities-such as converting windrow composting to aerated-static-pile composting to use food waste as feedstock, design and construction of anaerobic digestion facilities to produce biofuels and bioenergy, and design and construction of facilities for processing recyclable fibers and resins. Providing financial assistance for organic waste diversion and recycling manufacturing supports AB 32 emission reduction goals and the 75-percent solid waste recycling goal prescribed in Chapter 476, Statutes of 2011 (AB 341).
