Synopsis of History:
In 1990, the AQMD initiated an annual review of the Technology Advancement
program by an external panel of technical experts to coordinate and ensure
consistency of AQMD activities with related state, federal, and international
clean air technology activities.
Advisory Group Mission:
To provide an independent review of the Technology Advancement program with
the objectives of:
- Coordinating the AQMD program with related state, national, and
international clean air technology activities;
- Assessing the overall direction of the program to ensure consistency
with AQMP, Clean Air Act, and Energy Policy Act goals; and
- Identifying relevant new or emerging project areas and resources for
AQMD consideration.
These objectives are accomplished by review of the Technology Advancement
Plan for the Clean Fuels Program and its periodic updates; review of
on-going and recently completed projects; periodic critiques of projects,
proposals; contractors, and work scopes; and review of related state,
national, and international programs.
