Description

The Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program, in existence since 1995, is administered by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development. It is funded by Congress in response to the belief that there are many viable environmental technologies available that are underutilized due to the lack of credible third-party performance testing. Southern Research Institute operates one of several ETV Verification Organizations, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Technology Center, in partnership with EPA's Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division. The mission of the GHG Center is to provide reliable performance information on commercially available greenhouse gas mitigation technologies and emission monitoring devices. The GHG Center is currently accepting applications from candidates wishing to submit technologies for performance testing. Vendors or others with technologies that fit the following category are welcomed to apply for independent third-party verification testing: Diesel Fuel Cleaning and Maintenance Systems used for stand-by diesel engine systems. Performance parmeters to be verified include the mass emission rates of criteria air pollutants and GHGs associated with using both fuel suffering from deterioration due to storage and treated fuel, and treated fuel quality. Vendors are required to provide access to a facility where their technology is being utilized for the duration of the test. Vendors are also required to offset verification testing costs through 50% cost sharing. Vendors with commercial technologies in this category wishing to participate in these tests should complete and submit a test application on the GHG Center's Web site (www.sri-rtp.com) or contact Linda Rothschild at 919 806-3456.
