Clean Air Program (CAP) Grants

Colorado’s Clean Air Program Grants

Funding to reduce industrial air pollution.

Funding Overview:

Type: Grant
For: Business & Industry, Government
Amount: $25 million
Match: Required
RFA rounds: An additional round will open March 2, 2026.

Industrial production is among the top five leading contributors of emissions in the state. Colorado’s Clean Air Program provides grants for industry-related emission reduction projects that bring the State closer to its air pollutant emission reduction goals.

Clean Air Program grants offset the direct costs of purchasing industrial air pollutant emission reduction equipment at the site where air pollutant emissions are generated and released.

The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) offered technical assistance to help eligible facilities identify decarbonization opportunities. Visit the CAP Technical Assistance Offering webpage to learn more about this initiative.
