RFGA-13

Open Date:	October 26, 2007
Close Date:	December 5, 2007
Anticipated Number of Awards:	15 - 25
Anticipated Award Amount:	$100,000 - $750,000
Total Funding Available:	$6,500,000

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:

1. Development and verification testing of engine upgrade or retrofit kits for existing engines.
   This category includes, but is not limited to, upgrades to the base engine, engine add-on devices, or engine overhaul kits. Any proposed projects should include EPA or CARB verification in the scope of work (SOW).
2. Development and verification testing of exhaust gas treatment devices for retrofitting existing engines.
   The primary focus of this category is on alternatives to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technologies. This includes, but is not limited to, NOx storage and conversion devices (LNT). Any proposed projects should include EPA or CARB verification in the scope of work (SOW).
3. Development, proof of concept testing, and verification of novel NOx reduction technologies for new or existing diesel engines.
   A broad range of technologies could fit this category including, but not limited, to:
   • Nanotechnology derived products that can aid in reducing NOx and other emissions from existing or new diesel engines or diesel engine powered equipment.
   • Novel combustion methods that significantly reduce NOx emissions from diesel engines.
   • Technologies that reduce off-cycle emissions such as those from engine idling.
   • Vehicle or drivetrain technologies that can directly or indirectly reduce NOx emissions through engine duty cycle modification.
