California Bioenergy Secures Multiple CDFA Grants in Time for Earth Day Celebration
California Bioenergy LLC (“CalBio”) would like to extend congratulations to the dairy farmers whose digester projects were recently awarded funding through the 2024 Dairy Digester Research and Development Program (DDRDP) and Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP), a meaningful achievement to celebrate during the week of Earth Day. AMMP and DDRDP are part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that invests billions from Cap-and-Trade dollars into reducing greenhouse gas emissions, boosting the economy, and enhancing public health and the environment—especially in disadvantaged communities. These grants, administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), recognize the essential role of the dairy industry in addressing climate change, advancing renewable energy, and improving the quality of life in rural communities. Through hard work and collaboration with dairy partners, CalBio was able to secure three of the five DDRDP grants awarded for their upcoming dairy digester projects in Bakersfield, Gustine, and Modesto.
