US EPA funding clean diesel projects in Northeast

11 June 2007

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced nearly $1.7 million available for clean diesel projects under the 2007 Northeast Diesel Collaborative Emissions Reductions Grant Program (Funding Opportunity EPA-R2-NEDC-2007). Projects may include a variety of diesel emissions reductions solutions such as aftertreatment emission control technology, engine or vehicle replacement, idle reduction technologies or strategies, and/or cleaner fuel use.

The deadline for applying is July 31, 2007. Projects must benefit the air quality in the geographic areas that include Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, the US Virgin Islands and/or Vermont.

Project applications are being accepted under two clean diesel programs: Clean School Bus USA and the Voluntary Diesel Retrofit program.

The Northeast Diesel Collaborative (NEDC) was established in 2005 by regions 1 and 2 of the US EPA, the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) and the states and territories of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont.
