Grants to Texas individuals, businesses, organizations, governments, agencies, and other legal entities in eligible counties to reduce emissions from mobile diesel sources with high NOx emission. Applicants should plan to attend one of the workshops taking place in June.
The Emissions Reduction Incentive Grants program offers grants to upgrade or replace on-road vehicles, non-road equipment, stationary equipment, on-vehicle electrification and idle reduction infrastructure, and rail relocation and improvement projects.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) invites applications from persons who operate or plan to operate on-road heavy-duty vehicles, non-road equipment, marine vessels, locomotives, or stationary equipment in the nonattainment areas and other areas of Texas.
Incentive funding is available for activities that will reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) in designated eligible counties. NOX is usually a byproduct of high-temperature combustion. Everyday functions, like driving a motor vehicle or operating heavy equipment, contribute to the creation of NOX. It reacts with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the presence of sunlight to form harmful ground-level ozone.
