E-MAIL: click here to contact Mike Bogdanoff, Project Officer, mbogdanoff@aqmd.gov. To help meet the need for new technology to address the attainment of clean-air standards in the South Coast Air Basin, the South Coast Air Quality Mangement District (SCAQMD) adopted a Clean Fuels Program and established the Technology Advancement Office in 1988. Its purpose is to assist industry in the rapid development of progressively lower emitting technologies and fuels through an innovative public-private partnership. The SCAQMD Technology Advancement office cosponsors low- and zero-emitting clean-fuel technolgy development and demonstration projects with private industry, technology developers, and local, state and federal agencies. This public-private partnership has enable the SCAQMD to highly leverage its public funds with outside investment. Pre-proposals for technology research, development and demonstration projects are solicited in the following areas: 1. Fuel cells in transportation applications including fuel storaage, processing and infrastructure; 2. Low-emission heavy-duty alternative fuel engines; 3. Electric and hybrid-electric vehicle technologies including, recharging and energy storage; 4. Off-road vehicle and equipment applications of alternative fuel and electric technologies. Successful projects are expected to range from $100,000 to $1,000,000 in SCAQMD funding. The SCAQMD seeks a minimum of 50% project cost sharing. Pre-proposals ar due October 29, 1999. See PON #9900-A for submittal requirements, available at http:www.aqmd.gov/rfp/ or by request from Mike Bogdanoff at fax: (909) 396-3252 or by e-mail at mbogdanoff@aqmd.gov Posted 08/12/99 (W-SN367059).
