Funding Opportunities $20 Million Available for Clean Diesel Projects Tuesday, April 24, 2012-- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of up to $20 million in FY 2012 grant funding to establish clean diesel projects aimed at reducing harmful pollution from the nation's existing fleet of diesel engines and improving air quality and Americans' health. In addition to these grants, approximately $9 million will be available through direct state allocations. EPA estimates that for every $1 spent on clean diesel funding up to $13 of public health benefit is realized. States, tribes, local governments, and non-profits are eligible to apply for these grants. Projects can reduce air pollution from older school buses, transit buses, heavy-duty diesel trucks, marine engines, locomotives, and other diesel engines. The closing date for receipt of proposals is June 4, 2012. -- (full text) [US EPA]
DOE Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects - Approximately $180 million Tuesday, March 13, 2012-- DOE seeks to provide support for regionally diverse Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects through collaborative partnerships. The primary goals of the Advanced Technology Demonstration Projects are to: 1) install innovative offshore wind systems in U.S. waters in the most rapid and responsible manner possible, and 2) expedite the development and deployment of innovative offshore wind energy systems with a credible potential for lowering the levelized cost of energy at which offshore wind can compete with other regional generation sources without subsidies. By providing funding, technical assistance, and government coordination to accelerate deployment of these demonstration projects, DOE expects to help eliminate uncertainties, mitigate risks, and support grantees in creating a robust U.S. offshore wind energy industry. -- (full text) [U.S DOE]
