Join Climate Finance Solutions for an expert briefing on the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Commercializing Industrial Decarbonization (CID) program, which funds TRL 5–8 industrial technologies advancing toward operational-scale demonstration across energy-intensive industries.
Program snapshot:
• Deadline: April 8, 2026
• Available funding: $6.8M
• Awards: $1.5M–$3.4M per project
• Minimum match: 20%
The program is currently prioritizing projects in two groups:
♨️ Low-Carbon Industrial Heating
• Electrified process heating using electrotechnologies (e.g., microwave, infrared, RF, ultrasonic)
• Zero-carbon heat sources, including high-temperature heat pumps
🏭 Decarbonization of Concrete Manufacturing
• Electrified or electricity-driven carbon capture and utilization in cement facilities
• Alternative materials or processes enabling electrified cement production
• Electrification technologies that reduce fossil fuel use in conventional cement manufacturing
