CEC GFO-26-502 Integrated Point-Source Carbon Capture and Advanced Combustion

The California Energy Commission's Gas Research and Development Program funds demonstration projects that install point-source carbon capture equipment at California industrial facilities paired with advanced combustion retrofits, requiring the two to be shown operating as a single integrated system. Eligible work includes combustion retrofits that raise flue-gas CO2 concentration, cut fuel use and lower NOx emissions, alongside the capture train, with both greenhouse gas and criteria-pollutant reductions required. A California-Based Entity Form is part of the application package, indicating a California nexus requirement; total funds and per-award ranges are published in the solicitation manual rather than on the web page. Applications are submitted through the CEC ECAMS portal, with a pre-application workshop on 4 November 2026, questions due 20 November 2026, and applications due 19 January 2027.
