Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Funding Assistance Program

archived

EPA’s Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Funding Assistance Program is soliciting proposals nationwide for projects that achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions in terms of tons of pollution produced and diesel emissions exposure, particularly from fleets operating in areas designated by the Administrator as poor air quality areas. Under this solicitation, the only eligible diesel emission reduction solutions that may be proposed are the use of emerging emission control technologies as listed on the National Clean Diesel Campaign’s Emerging Technologies List (http://www.epa.gov/otaq/diesel/prgemerglist.htm). Eligible diesel vehicles, engines and equipment may include buses, medium-duty or heavy-duty trucks, marine engines, locomotives and non-road engines, equipment or vehicles used in construction, handling of cargo (including at a port or airport), agriculture, mining or energy production (including stationary generators and pumps). Eligible entities include regional, State, local or tribal agencies or port authorities with jurisdiction over transportation or air quality, and nonprofit organizations or institutions that, a) represent or provide pollution reduction or educational services to persons or organizations that own or operate diesel fleets or b) have, as their principal purpose, the promotion of transportation or air quality.
