Carbon Removal Innovation Support Program - CRISP

CRISP is established by Assembly Bill 209 (Chapter 251, Statutes of 2021) to help develop direct air capture technologies that use mechanical and chemical processes.  Other technologies such as biochar, biomass burial, direct ocean capture, and soil carbon sequestration are not eligible.

Projects that benefit oil or gas production, processing, or refining facility are not eligible.

CRISP is part of California Climate Investments, which uses billions of Cap-and-Invest dollars to fund projects that reduce harmful emissions, protect public health, strengthen local economies, and support natural environments. With a strong focus on communities most impacted by pollution and limited access to resources, California Climate Investments helps build a more equitable and sustainable future.
