State Clean Diesel Grant Program

State Grant Program Overview

EPA's State Grant Program may be used to fund grant and loan programs for clean diesel projects that use:

EPA allocates funding to the states through a formula outlined in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (PDF) (551 pp, 1.3MB) and published in the Federal Register Notice. According to the Act, each state will receive one of two amounts, contingent on the provision of matching funds provided by the state. Two-thirds of the funds from the state program are provided to the participating states as base funding. The remaining third is awarded to states that provide matching funds. Any unclaimed funds will revert to the National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program. States may also apply for additional funding through the National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program.

A match is not required for this program, but if a state matches the entire base amount dollar for dollar with cash or in-kind services, they will be awarded an additional amount equal to half of their base funding. The match must be spent on eligible and allowable costs and is subject to the match provisions in the assistance agreement. Other federal funds cannot be used as a match.

EPA has provided specific guidance in the Federal Register on the application process, permissible use of funds, and a streamlined annual renewal process. To support states in the development of clean diesel programs, EPA also has developed a toolkit for state and local governments including examples of existing programs, information about the cost effectiveness of emissions reduction technologies and verification of clean diesel technologies.
