Are applications being accepted under this program?
No. The latest NTIG application period ended on November 29, 2010. Applications may no longer be submitted for funding consideration.
What projects are eligible for an NTIG?
For the current request for grant applications (RFGA), the TCEQ is soliciting applications for projects for:
- Advanced Clean Energy projects
- New Technology projects that involve capital expenditures that exceed $500 million and reduce emissions of regulated pollutants from point sources.
Applicants should review the NTIG Guidelines and RFGA (PDF files) for detailed requirements for each project type and information about applicant eligibility.
Considerations
- Applications for either grant category must demonstrate a substantial implementation plan that maximizes the likelihood that the technology will be implemented in Texas as soon as practicable and demonstrates the applicant's ability to operate and maintain the grant-funded technology for the duration of the contract and the five-year reporting period.
- Applications for the Advanced Clean Energy Projects category must meet the required pollutant emissions reductions in Section 3 of House Bill 1796.
- Applications for the New Technology Projects category must involve capital expenditures that exceed $500 million and reduce emissions of regulated pollutants from point sources.
