Other Funding Opportunities

The Air District has several one-time or periodic funding opportunities covering a variety of equipment types, project types, and locations. Learn more about them on this web page.

FARMER Zero-Emission Equipment Demonstration Program

The program is currently closed and not accepting new applications. The Air District does not have a timeline to reopen this program. Check back periodically for updated program information, or you can request to be added to the email notification list for future solicitation information.

Approximately $1 million in funding was provided by the Funding Agricultural Reduction Measures for Emission Reductions, or FARMER, Program, to demonstrate mobile zero-emission equipment in Bay Area agricultural operations. 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.
