Comment:
Q: What other programs administered by CARB could be leveraged or adjusted to support further emissions reductions in the industrial sector? One of the most innovative programs has been the Food Production Investment Program (FPIP). Focused solely on CO2 reductions, this program should become the model for all industrial incentive programs going forward if the state expects to meet its emission reduction goals. CARB should advocate for continuous funding for FPIP. Q: What hurdles does California face for decarbonizing the industrial sector? How can CARB help to overcome these hurdles? Lack of new or emerging technologies prevent additional significant gains in emissions reductions for food processors. Additional research into the current status of available technologies and emerging technologies for industrial food processors needs to be funded. For instance, understanding the availability of technologies will allow for a fine tuning of the emission reductions on a sector by sector basis under the cap-and-trade regulation. Bottom line, more incentives/grants for industrial food processors will be needed if additional significant reductions are expected.
