EPA Cash To Spur New Diesel Technologies

July 22, 2010

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $5.6 million for emerging technologies projects as part of a rollout of $120 million in clean diesel grants. The awards will provide opportunities to advance cutting-edge technologies in the marketplace, and support both environmental innovation and green jobs to reduce diesel emissions, the agency said.

Most clean diesel grants involve widely used strategies such as retrofits or replacements. However, the emerging technologies program promotes deployment of innovative approaches that have not yet been verified or certified by EPA or the California Air Resources Board. Instead, the program enables evaluation of these promising technologies in the field while providing air quality benefits to the surrounding area.
