The Siting, Transmission and
Environmental Protection
(STEP) Division licenses a power
plant 50 MW or more, the
project must comply with all
provisions of their CEC license.
Per 
California Code of
Regulations Section 1769, 
if
there are any proposed changes
to the design, operation, or
performance of a licensed
project then the CEC must
approve that project change
before construction can begin.
STEP’s environmental review is
a functional equivalent to
CEQA’s (California
Environmental Quality Act)
environmental impact report.

California's Carbon Removal Innovation Support Program (CRISP) aims to incentivize Direct Air Capture (DAC) development in the state. The program includes research test centers, small-scale demonstrations of DAC technologies, community engagement, technical assistance, and more to enhance carbon removal efforts. Additionally, post-certification changes to CEC Jurisdictional Power highlight projects like the Sutter Energy Center and Los Medanos Energy Center's carbon capture and storage initiatives. These initiatives reflect California's commitment to advancing carbon removal technologies and combating climate change.

Carbon Removal Innovation Support Program (CRISP) AB 209 (The Energy and Climate Change budget bill, Chapter 251, Statutes of 2022) mandated a program to incentivize Direct Air Capture (DAC) development in California Tentative Schedule Tentative Program Elements Research Test Center* - facilitate pilot testing of DAC technologies Summer 2023 DAC technologies include mechanical and chemical processes that capture atmospheric carbon dioxide as opposed to point- source carbon capture Released Cost Share for Federal Grants Small Scale Demonstrations of DAC Technologies Late 2023 Community Engagement and Outreach - facilitate education and community needs Late 2023 On-going TechnicalAssistance &Admin TOTAL $75M * Options considered: Building center in California Grants or vouchers for tech providers to test at existing test facilities (NETL) CRISP Web Link

  3. Post Certification Changes to CEC Jurisdictional Power The Siting, Transmission and Environmental Protection (STEP) Division licenses a power plant 50 MW or more, the project must comply with all provisions of their CEC license. Per California Code of Regulations Section 1769, if there are any proposed changes to the design, operation, or performance of a licensed project then the CEC must approve that project change before construction can begin. STEP s environmental review is a functional equivalent to CEQA s (California Environmental Quality Act) environmental impact report.

  4. Post Certification Changes to CEC Jurisdictional Power Power Plant Post Certification Petition Approved Sutter Energy Center Post combustion carbon capture and storage project. Carbon dioxide will be collected in a first-in-the-world air- cooled capture facility, transported, and permanently sequestered in a geological storage location. Pending Los Medanos Energy Center October 2022 Demonstration project to test a solvent technology to capture carbon dioxide from a small portion of flue gas from a single turbine exhaust at the power plant. Los Medanos Energy Center Installation of a flue gas pipe for use in an offsite demonstration project that is manufacturing carbon dioxide sequestration upcycled rock products. May 2022
