Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program
| ETV Verified Technologies |
The ETV Program has verified the performance of 406 innovative environmental technologies that can be used to monitor, prevent, control, and clean up pollution. See the full list of ETV verified technologies. |
Information Session, Testing of Airborne Natural Gas Leak Detection Technologies
ETV Canada and the U.S. EPA ETV Advanced Monitoring Systems Center are planning joint verification testing of airborne natural gas leak detection technologies. The test will involve field testing under a variety of conditions. Test collaborators are also being sought. A teleconference will be conducted on Wednesday, June 24, 2009, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. EDT, to present an outline of the test design to interested technology vendors. Although the focus of the call is joint U.S./Canada verification test design, vendors interested in U.S.-only or Canada-only verification are also welcome and can be considered for verification. Please contact Ken Cowen, Battelle, at (614) 424-5547 or cowenk@battelle.org, or Mona El Hallak, ETV Canada, at (905) 822-4133 ext. 239 or melhallak@etvcanada.ca, with questions or interest in participating on the teleconference by no later than Friday, June 19.
Fourth International Environmental Technology Verification Forum
The Philippines government will host the 4th International ETV Forum entitled “ETV: Accelerating Technology Solutions to Climate Change,” on November 11-13, 2009, in Manila, Philippines. This Forum will serve as a venue for exchanging ideas and sharing experiences among participants on issues related to implementing an ETV program within the Philippines, and how this supports technology solutions to mitigate climate change in developing countries such as the Philippines. Programs, technologies, and approaches for mitigation, adaptation, and international cooperation will be discussed. The Forum will be followed by a meeting of the International Working Group on Environmental Technology Verification (IWG-ETV), also hosted by the Philippine government. The IWG-ETV seeks to develop a common approach to verification, so that verification programs around the world can eventually recognize each others programs and products. U.S. ETV staff will help organize and present at both events. Additional information on ETV international activities is available on the ETV Web Site.
ETV, SBIR Regional Technology Workshop Summary Report Now Available
The EPA ETV and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Programs hosted a joint regional technology workshop, “Today’s Environmental Technologies—Innovative Solutions for Regional Issues,” on October 7-8, 2008, at the EPA Region 2 office in New York, NY. The summary report from the workshop is now available on the ETV Web Site.

ETV Drinking Water Systems Center Solicits Technology Vendors
The DWS Center, operated by NSF International, is soliciting vendors of technologies for: water conservation and reuse (e.g., to address water loss as a result of evaporation and other effects of global climate change); energy efficiency in drinking water treatment (e.g., nanotechnology or energy recovery systems integrated into treatment equipment); and treatment to reduce the volume, hazard, or risk of residuals. Technologies that address one or more of the above issues and also treat, reduce or remove one or more of the following contaminants are of high priority, should and when funding becomes available: contaminants regulated under the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (particularly membrane separation and ultraviolet inactivation processes), Groundwater Rule, arsenic, radium, uranium, and other existing drinking water rules. For more information, please contact Bruce Bartley, NSF, at (734) 769-5148 or bartley@nsf.org, or Jeff Adams, EPA, at (513) 569-7835 or adams.jeff@epa.gov. |
