Background
In 2009, EPA’s National Clean Diesel Campaign is distributing funding for clean diesel activities through two separate funding sources:
- EPA’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 and 2010 Appropriations; and
- the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) *CLOSED*
Both funding sources are authorized by the National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program which was created under Title VII, Subtitle G (Sections 791 to 797) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Public Law 109-58, signed August 8, 2005 (EPAct). The National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program is sometimes referred to as "DERA".
National Clean Diesel Emissions Reduction Program Components
National Clean Diesel Program (70% of funding)
- National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program contains the majority of the funding dedicated to deployment of EPA-verified and certified technologies. This component will be administered by EPA"s regional offices.
- National Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Program fosters the deployment of innovative technologies through a national grant competition. To qualify as an emerging technology, a manufacturer must have an EPA approved application and test plan for verification.
- SmartWay Clean Diesel Finance Program allows EPA to issue competitive grants to establish national low-cost revolving loans or other financing programs that will provide funding to fleets to reduce diesel emissions.
State Clean Diesel Grant Program (30% of funding)
- State Clean Diesel Grant Program makes funds directly available to States interested in establishing new diesel emission reduction programs.
