2009 Recovery Act Funding: Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Program Awarded Projects
EPA has awarded approximately $20 million in funding assistance to eligible entities to deploy diesel emission reduction technologies which are not yet verified or certified by the EPA or the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Program is an opportunity to advance new cutting edge technologies to reduce diesel emissions from the existing fleet.
| State | Sector | Recipient | Description | EPA Funding |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CA | Freight | San Joaquin Valley | This project will retrofit 33 class 8A privately-owned, long-haul diesel trucks that travel in the San Joaquin Valley with emerging Johnson Matthey Selective Catalytic Reduction technologies. It is estimated that this project will create 26 jobs. | $1.3 million |
| CA | Freight | South Coast Air Quality Management District | This project will retrofit 100 heavy-duty on-highway diesel trucks with Johnson Matthey Selective Catalytic Reduction Technology. This project will also create 19 jobs and provide long and short term economic benefits for the surrounding area. | $2 million |
| CA | Freight | South Coast Air Quality Management District | This project will retrofit 100 heavy-duty on-highway diesel trucks with Johnson Matthey Selective Catalytic Reduction Technology. These vehicles move goods throughout the South Coast Air Basin, 19 direct jobs will be created in the first two years. | $2 million |
| IN | Construction | Indiana Department of Environmental Management | This project will install emerging technology TECT PM/NOx 3126 reduction systems in up to 30 on-road construction Caterpillar 3126 engines - five for Duke Energy and 25 for IDEM. It will take place in central, northwestern and southern Indiana. This project will help the areas most affected by the current economic conditions in Indiana. | $1 million |
| NC | Construction, Public Fleet | Southern Research Institute | This project will retrofit 12 garbage trucks and four pieces of construction equipment owned by the City of Durham, NC, using Nett technologies Inc. and Engine Control Systems’ Selective catalytic Reduction Technologies. It is estimated that this project will create 12 jobs. | $1 million |
| PA | Ports | Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection - CONSOL Energy | This project will repower one towboat used in Pittsburgh, PA, and conduct a sea trial to verify engine system performance using Caterpillar’s Marine Emissions Upgrade Kit. The current Caterpillar Tier1 engine will be upgraded to a Tier2 engine. | $1.5 million |
| TN | Ports | Mississippi River Corridor - Tennessee Inc | This project will achieve significant reductions in particulate matter through the use of ESW Canada’s emerging technology XtrmCat DOC Kit having Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and Closed Crankcase Ventilation system on six (6) high horsepower Marine vessels for a total of 13 engine retrofits. This project will positively impact job retention and creation, translating into over 50 total full time jobs. | $2 million |
| TX | Public Fleet | City of Irving | This project will retrofit approximately 25 municipal service vehicles owned by the City of Irving, TX, with Johnson Matthey Selective Catalyst Reduction Technology. It is estimated that this project will preserve or create 27 jobs. | $937,605 |
| TX | Construction, Public Fleet | Houston Advanced Research Center | This project will retrofit 14 privately- owned on-highway diesel vehicles and 20 publicly-owned on-highway and non-road diesel vehicles with Johnson Matthey Selective Catalytic Reduction Technology, Tinnerman/Shadowood TEC2010, and Nett Technology BlueMax. Vehicles and equipment will operate in the state of Texas. The project will reduce emissions of criteria pollutants, and it is estimated to preserve four to six permanent manufacturing jobs and create new operator and training positions. | $2 million |
| TX | Ports | Houston Advanced Research Center | This project will retrofit a marine vessel owned by the Marquette Transportation Company (private), which operates between Baton Rouge/New Orleans, LA and Houston, TX. Two Caterpillar 3508 engines will be retrofitted with 3500 Marine Emissions Upgrade Kit, Tier 1. This project will reduce emissions of criteria pollutants, and it is estimated to create or preserve 33 jobs for local skilled trade workers. | $1.6 million |
| TX | Freight, Public Fleet | University of Houston | This project will retrofit twenty on-highway class 8 diesel trucks owned by the City of Houston with Truck Emission Control Technologies Inc's retrofit system. This project will create five jobs and preserve ten jobs. | $1.4 million |
| WA | Ports | Puget Sound Clean Air | This project will reduce particulate matter emissions from two private marine harbor vessels operating in the Puget Sound of Washington State. Each vessel is equipped with two engines and each engine will be equipped with ESW Canada's XtrmCat Diesel Oxidation Catalyst kit which includes also includes a closed crankcase ventilation system. This project is expected to create the equivalent of 16 full-time jobs over the life of the project. | $739,577 |
