Approximately $1 million in funding was offered in 2020 to demonstrate mobile zero-emission equipment in Bay Area agricultural operations. The program is currently closed.
FARMER is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment – particularly in disadvantaged communities.
Funding from the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust is available statewide to reduce NOx emissions:
The Mobile Source Incentive Fund, or MSIF, provides grants to the public and private sector for projects eligible for the Carl Moyer Program, vehicle scrappage and agricultural assistance programs, and for projects to reduce pollution from school buses. Fund revenues are collected from a $2 fee on vehicles registered in the Bay Area, and generate about $11 million each year.
