CCA account spending & funds reporting
The Legislature created seven accounts, each with a specific environmental focus, intended to house money raised by the Cap-and-Invest carbon market auctions.
Ecology’s Cap-and-Invest Program, established by the Climate Commitment Act (CCA) in 2021, has generated over $2.8 billion to date.
The CCA requires Ecology to publish a report each year that explains how dollars appropriated from CCA accounts are spent. Agencies can find reporting guidance below.
Fiscal Year 2025
Fiscal Year 2025 reporting by agencies is due to Ecology on Sept. 12, 2025. Please send completed reporting spreadsheets to CCAFundsReporting@ecy.wa.gov. Only one spreadsheet will be accepted per agency.
Before submitting data, agencies should make sure reported expenditure amounts match the information in the Agency Financial Reporting System (AFRS).
Include the following accounts in reporting:
- 6505 – Accrued Expenditures/Expenses
- 6510 – Cash Expenditures/Expenses
- 6560 – Estimated Accrued Expenditures/Expenses
Agencies reporting expenditures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions must estimate the reduced emissions amount. Use one of the Ecology-approved methods or a method from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) webpage.
Approved calculators
| Covered project types | Calculator link/download | Reporting user guide |
|---|---|---|
| Changes to agricultural practices, land use, and conversions | COMET-Planner | COMET Planner User Guide |
We plan to approve four additional calculator tools before Fiscal Year 2025 reporting. These include:
- Three clean transportation tools from WSDOT
- A new building weatherization tool
Agencies with projects that are expected to reduce emissions but don’t have an approved calculation method from Ecology or CARB can email CCAFundsReporting@ecy.wa.gov to confirm that no suitable method is available. We’ll work together to find a solution.
