New Jersey’s Diesel Demonstration Projects

NJDEP’s Diesel Risk Reduction Program oversees and helps manage over $10 million in voluntary demonstration projects to reduce diesel emissions using retrofit technologies such as diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs), diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and idle reduction technologies. These technologies are being implemented across all diesel sectors including on-road vehicles, off-road construction vehicles, locomotives, and port-related equipment such as cranes and yard hostlers. NJDEP does not have a dedicated source of funding for these projects but does receive grants and settlement funds periodically. Projects funded must comply with applicable public bidding regulations. If you have a project that you think should receive consideration for future funding, please complete the Project Information Form and return to StopTheSoot@dep.state.nj.us .

Existing Idle Reduction Technologies
While the best way to keep our air clean is to shut off diesel engines when vehicles are not in motion, there are clean-diesel technologies that can be installed on trucks, buses, school buses and off road construction equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, etc. Most of these technologies provide an alternate source of power, allowing engines to be turned off and producing savings in fuel and maintenance.
The Department of Environmental Protection makes no claims as to the effectiveness or operation of these products.  This listing is for informational purposes only.
