Clean Diesel Grant Program The U. S. EPA Clean Diesel Program provides support for projects that protect human health and improve air quality by reducing harmful emissions from diesel engines.
This program includes grants and rebates funded under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA). Authority for clean diesel funding comes from DERA, part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. As stipulated by the Act Seventy percent of the DERA appropriation is to be used for national competitive grants and rebates.
More information on these national grants can be found at https://www. epa. gov/dera/national Thirty percent of the DERA appropriation is allocated to the states and territories to fund programs for clean diesel programs.
Base funding is distributed to the states and territories using a formula based on overall participation. The LDEQ applies for funds from the thirty percent appropriation and makes these funds available to eligible parties, following guidelines established in https://www. epa.
