Under the Recovery Act and EPAct 2005, EPA’s SmartWay Clean Diesel Finance Program is soliciting applications for projects that can be commenced expeditiously and that reduce diesel emissions and maximize job creation and preservation through the creation of national, state or local innovative financing program(s). Innovative financial projects include, but are not limited to, those where the loan recipient receives a unique financial incentive (i.e., better than regular market rates or conditions) for the purchase or of retrofitted vehicles or equipment. This synopsis will be modified when the full announcement is posted.

Under the Recovery Act and EPAct 2005, EPA’s Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Program is soliciting applications for projects that can be commenced quickly, reduce diesel emissions, and maximize job preservation and/or creation and economic recovery through the use, development and commercialization of emerging technologies. An emerging technology is a device or system that reduces emissions from diesel engines or diesel engine powered vehicles or equipment that has not been certified or verified by EPA or the California Air Resources Board (CARB) but for which an approvable application and test plan have been submitted for verification. Only those technologies that have been approved and placed on EPA’s Emerging Technology List, found at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/diesel/prgemerglist.htm, qualify as emerging technologies for the purpose of this funding solicitation.
