The MPCA is now accepting applications for grant funds to replace or improve heavy-duty off-road diesel equipment. Recipients can use the federal Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) funds for cleaner diesel, alternative fuel, hybrid, or all-electric equipment.
The approximately $1 million in grant funds comes in the latest round of funds from DERA and the national Volkswagen settlement to help clean up emissions from older, diesel-powered equipment and vehicles.
Eligible equipment may include marine engines, locomotives, trailer refrigeration units, terminal tractors, drayage trucks, off-road engines, and other equipment and vehicles used in construction, handling of cargo, agriculture, mining, or energy production.
Visit the MPCA clean diesel off-road DERA grant webpage for full details and application materials. Applications are due by December 1, 2021.
