Past Requests for Grant Applications
Note: The submission deadlines for these RFGAs have passed.
 |
It is anticipated that there will be one award at a maximum funding of $350,000. The overall objective of the Strategic Technology Assessment project is to develop an understanding of the available technologies to reduce diesel emissions and how the technologies may affect the air quality in a variety of U.S. cities.
|
 |
It is anticipated that $200,000 will be awarded for one project. Applications are being requested for projects for the track testing of SmartWay technologies or similar retrofit components.
|
 |
It is anticipated that $7,500,000 will be awarded for 20 to 30 projects ranging from $100,000 to $750,000. The focus of the RFGA is to accelerate the verification of technologies that reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions.
|
 |
It is anticipated that $4,700,000 will be awarded for 10 to 20 projects ranging from $100,000 to $750,000. The focus of the RFGA is to develop NOx reduction solutions for diesel engines with duty cycles resulting in low exhaust gas temperatures.
|
 |
It is anticipated that there will be 4 to 8 awards with a maximum funding available of $1,000,000. The focus of the RFGA is to develop technologies that can reduce NOx marine emissions in the Houston-Galveston area.
|
 |
It is anticipated that there will be 4 to 10 awards with a maximum funding available of $2,000,000. The focus of the RFGA is to develop and verifiy engine overhaul kits that result in minimum reductions of 25% from original year of manufacture levels or required levels at the time of overhaul.
|
 |
It is anticipated that a total of $2,500,000 will be awarded for projects ranging from $100,000 to $750,000. Applications are being requested for projects to develop and verify engine overhaul kits that will result in significant reductions in NOx emissions, as well as other emissions reductions.
|
 |
It is anticipated that there will be 1 award with a maximum funding available of $250,000. Applications are being requested for grants to support emissions testing for the approval of an alternative diesel formulation for Texas Low Emissions Diesel fuel (TxLED).
|
 |
It is expected that a single grant will be made with a maximum funding level of $600,000. Applications are being requested for a two-part project expected to determine: 1) the root cause of changes in NOx and other emissions resulting from biodiesel, or biodiesel blends, combustion in diesel engines, and 2) how energy resources in the State of Texas can be used to produce qualifying fuels.
|
 |
It is anticipated that there will be 1 to 5 awards with a maximum funding available of $5,000,000. Applications are being requested for projects leading to nanotechnology derived products that can aid in reducing NOx and other emissions from existing or new diesel engines or diesel engine powered equipment.
|
 |
It is anticipated that $2,500,000 will be awarded for 5 to 10 projects ranging from $100,000 to $500,000. Applications are being requested for the acquisition and proof-of-concept testing of a hybrid powertrain in a class 4 through class 8 truck. Testing of hydraulic hybrid or hybrid electric trucks should focus on attainable emissions reductions based on appropriate mission profiles or drive cycles.
|
|
It is anticipated that $6,500,000 will be awarded for 15 to 25 projects ranging from $100,000 to $750,000. Applications are being requested for projects in several categories including: development and verification testing of engine upgrade or retrofit kits for existing engines, development and verification testing of exhaust gas treatment devices for retrofitting existing engines, and development, proof of concept testing, and verification of novel NOx reduction technologies for new or existing diesel engines.
|
|
It is anticipated that there will be one award at a maximum funding of $250,000. Applications are being requested for the proof-of-concept testing of hydrogen enhanced diesel combustion.
