Stationary Source and Community-Identified Projects

Background
The California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) approved the Community Air Protection Incentives 2019 Guidelines (CAP Incentives Guidelines or Guidelines) on May 23, 2019. The Board also delegated authority to the Executive Officer to approve changes to the Guidelines as necessary to ensure responsiveness in addressing the concerns of the most heavily impacted communities across the State. The CAP Incentives Guidelines were updated in May 2024 and more recently in May 2025 to expand eligible project types and update the Program Administration Chapter and appendices to align with the Carl Moyer Program's recently updated guidelines. This webpage includes information relevant to Chapter 6: Community-Identified Projects and Chapter 7: Stationary Source Projects within the CAP Incentives Guidelines. The framework allows air districts, with guidance from community members, to create new kinds of stationary source incentives as well as new incentives consistent with the Community Emissions Reduction Programs (CERP) developed for communities selected to participate in the Community Air Protection Program. The complete CAP Incentives Guidelines, including the new chapters, may be accessed here. CARB encourages air districts to collaborate with each other on project plans that will address the same concerns across each of their communities.
Staff will post information relating to approved project plans on this webpage. Upon CARB approval of a project plan, air districts may immediately begin to use the plan to select and fund projects according to its provisions. Stationary source projects are available to any air district that receives CAP Incentives funds. Community-identified projects must align with a specific community's CERP.
Approved Project Plans
The following project plans have been approved by CARB. The table below contains the primary air district that created the project plan (note that other air districts and communities may be involved in each particular project plan as well), the date of CARB's approval, the project title and description (with a link to air district webpages), whether the project is a stationary source or community-identified project, which selected community or communities the project applies to if it is a community-identified project, expected or estimated funding amounts, project benefits, and approval date.
Other air districts may seek to adapt these existing approved project plans for use within their own communities, either as-is or modified in some way, in lieu of submitting a full project plan for CARB's review. Those air districts may submit a completed Request to Use or Modify Approved Community-Identified or Stationary Source Project Plans form to ab617incentives@arb.ca.gov. Use of this form will help CARB staff to expedite the review and focus on those items that an air district proposes to modify.
