Providing grants to help fund emission reduction projects
The New Hampshire Clean Diesel Grant Program is a program funded by EPA through the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA). The program, managed by the NHDES Air Resources/Technical Services Bureau, aims to reduce the emissions from older diesel engines in the state. Projects eligible for funding include idle reduction technologies, engine replacement, vehicle and equipment replacement, exhaust controls and aerodynamic technologies. Grant funding is available with a required match by the grantee and the match requirement depends on the project. EPA also offers competitive grants separate from New Hampshire's State Clean Diesel Program. For more information about these grants, visit the national DERA grant program webpage.
More resources to help calculate emissions, manage fleets
EPA’s Diesel Emission Quantifier (DEQ) is used to calculate the emissions savings when replacing an older diesel vehicle or engine with a newer more efficiency diesel or alternative fuel vehicle or engine.
Argonne’s AFLEET is used to calculate a fleet's petroleum use, cost of ownership, and emissions.
U.S. Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center offers a large collection of helpful tools, including calculators, interactive maps and data searches.
Volkswagen Trust funds allocated to emission reduction projects
New Hampshire became a Trustee of the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust Agreement following submission of its Final Mitigation Plan inOctober 2018. The State’s allocation of approximately $30.9 million is to be used for environmental mitigation projects that reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, primarily from the transportation sector. NHDES is the lead agency for dispersing the funds.
