The Texas Commission of Environmental Quality announced that
applications are now being accepted until 5:00 p.m. on Feb. 16, 2016, for New
Technology Implementation Grants.
The program is part of the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan,
and provides up to $3.5 million in grants for eligible individuals and
businesses who build, own, and operate new technologies to reduce emissions
from point sources or store electricity related to renewable energy.
There are three NTIG project categories:
•Advanced Clean Energy projects that involve the use of
certain hydrocarbons (coal, natural gas, or petcoke), biomass, solid waste, or
derived-hydrogen fuel cells, while meeting minimum emissions reductions
requirements
•New Technology projects that reduce emissions of regulated
pollutants (such as criteria pollutants or hazardous air pollutants) from point
sources
•Electricity Storage projects that store electrical energy
related to renewable energy sources
For detailed information on how to apply, informational
