Highways England is funding this project to assess how IPG's turbine technology could present a solution for delivering power at a competitive cost while improving air quality, that would alleviate grid stress in high-use areas, as well as enabling remote locations to facilitate EV charging.
EPA will fund: Verified Exhaust Control Technologies: up to 100% of the cost of eligible verified exhaust control technologies. Verified/Certified Engine Upgrades: up to 40% of the cost (labor and equipment) of eligible engine upgrades. Certified Engine Repower: up to 40% of the cost (labor and equipment) of an eligible engine repower.
EPA will fund: Verified Exhaust Control Technologies: EPA will fund up to 100% of the cost of eligible verified exhaust control technologies. Verified/Certified Engine Upgrades: EPA will fund up to 40% of the cost (labor and equipment) of eligible engine upgrades.
The combination can be done without the implementation of expensive and cumbersome clean-up technologies which enables a simple and cost-effective system design. One of the most crucial elements we have been working on these past two years is bringing down the production time and costs of the fuel cell components.
The company’s HT-PEM technology can utilize low-cost and abundant hydrogen-carrier fuels such as methanol, e-methanol and biomethanol. Moreover, there is no water condenser needed, which again means lower weight, higher efficiency, and lower cost compared to pure methanol.
Summary of what EPA will fund: Verified Exhaust Control Technologies: EPA will fund up to 100% of the cost of eligible verified exhaust control technologies. Verified/Certified Engine Upgrades: EPA will fund up to 40% of the cost (labor and equipment) of eligible engine upgrades.
The Methanol Institute (MI) released two new reports on the use of methanol as a safe, efficient and cleanalternative fuel for cars, trucks and buses. Neat methanol can also be used in optimized vehicles as a substitute for either gasoline or diesel fuel in both spark-ignition and combustion-ignition engines.
The facility will be located in Southern California and produce the DME, which can be used as an alternative to diesel and propane, as well as for a variety of non-transportation uses. SoCalGas is committed to supporting the development and deployment of cleanalternative transportation fuels.
The new options would reduce some economic and procedural impediments to cleanalternative fuel conversions while maintaining environmental safeguards to ensure that acceptable emission levels from converted vehicles are sustained. EPA expects the streamlined approach to result in a cost savings for many converters.
The EcoDual technology enables existing diesel engines to be converted to operate on up to 85% natural gas, providing fuel cost savings and emission reductions. The cost of the dual fuel system can be recovered in operational savings within one year without any government incentives, the company says.
EPA evaluated the requirement and determined that it is appropriate to introduce new flexibilities for all cleanalternative fuel converters and to expand the compliance options for certain categories of conversions. EPA expects the streamlined approach to result in a cost savings for many converters.
Geographical distribution of Clean Cities Recovery Act awards. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 25 cost-share projects under the Clean Cities program that will be funded with nearly $300 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

However, a handful of market-based and technological hurdles, such as high car repair costs and lack refueling stations, still stand in the way. The high costs associated with producing and installing these fueling stations contribute to these infrastructural constraints. Without question, FCEVs have the potential for broader adoption.
Offering a cleanalternative to traditional fuel, hydrogen fuel cells are also gaining attention due to their zero-emission properties and potential for long-range driving. As EVs are gaining traction, advancements in battery technology, fast-charging infrastructure, and increased range are redefining the landscape of automobiles.
Their “Clean Bus Program” is targeted explicitly at replacing gas and diesel buses with cleanalternatives. The EPA’s Clean Bus Program website lists numerous benefits for schools looking to switch to electric options. Schools have responded positively to the EPA program.
Emissions : Burning hydrogen produces water vapor as the only emission, making it a cleanalternative to fossil fuels. Challenges and Future Prospects While hydrogen energy storage offers many benefits, there are challenges to address: Cost : Producing, storing, and transporting hydrogen can be expensive.
Tax credits for installing EV charging stations are available in a variety of forms, and many of them apply toward the cost of equipment and installation. It covers 30% of the cost for equipment and installation, up to $30,000. Washington state offers tax credits for up to 50% of the costs of equipment and related costs.
You may also qualify for state and local incentives that can further reduce the cost of transitioning your fleet to EVs, which companies ranging from Amazon to Ikea are taking steps to do. Much like bus depots have their own gas stations, you can reduce fuel costs for your fleet by owning the means to produce and distribute that fuel.
The program, which cuts about half the cost of purchasing road-ready hybrid trucks and buses, is expected to put up to 800 vehicles on the road on a first-come, first-served basis. Hybrid vehicles also reduce smog-forming emissions while saving vehicle owners money in reduced fuel costs.
