F-gas Reduction Incentive Program (FRIP): Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration (Window 1)

The goal of FRIP is to reduce fluorinated gas emissions by incentivizing the adoption of climate-friendly technologies, particularly ultra-low-GWP technologies, defined as having a GWP less than ten, as directed by the legislature. Incentives are expected to help these technologies achieve economies of scale, which will lead to wider market adoption and, therefore, greater greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions and support California in achieving the Senate Bill 1383 legislative mandate. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has $38.5 million for commercial and industrial refrigeration in existing facilities with >50 pounds of high-GWP refrigerant in at least one refrigeration system. Funding will be allocated across three commercial and industrial refrigeration sectors including Retail Food Refrigeration, Industrial Process Refrigeration, and Cold Storage and Other Refrigeration. Applicants must use the FRIP web portal to apply for funding. Funding will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. FRIP is administered in partnership with CARB’s third-party administrator, the North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC). NASRC is available to provide application assistance, including support understanding eligible technologies, scoping projects, obtaining project bids, and submitting FRIP applications.
