For more than a decade, the DEER Conference has been the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) primary mechanism for the public exchange of state-of-the-art advanced combustion engine research and development (R&D).

The Earth Day Coalition's Sustainable Cleveland Partnership and Clean Transportation Programs are working with NOACA's Air Pollution experts to educate local commercial vehicle fleets about the importance of meeting US EPA air quality requirements for our region through the use of diesel retrofits and idle-reduction policies.  To that end, we've posted a compendium of idle-reduction policies for any fleet or city looking to implement such a practice.

What does a green port look like? The South Jersey Courier Post has examined this very question in looking at Camden's South Jersey Port Corporation and their bid to green their port operations. I've copied some highlights from the article which could apply to Cleveland's Port relocation project.: (article text in italics / commentary in plain text)

Thanks to all who attended for a making it such a great conference! I will be working on the site to develop a more cohesive place for information sharing. In the meantime, I will be uploading the power point presentations from the conference. I should have them all uploaded by Thursday, March 6.

WKYC Channel 3  aired a story about the effect the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's (RTA) retroffited busses have had on air pollution levels in Cleveland.  As many readers are well aware, Greater Cleveland is in non-attainment with the Federal EPA for fine particle pollution (FPP).

February 11, 2008 is the deadline for the first round of proposals to Ohio's Diesel Emissions Reduction Grant program.

EPA will be holding a
Retrofit Technology Verification Workshop on December 13, 2007 in
Washington, DC. This workshop is intended for technology vendors,
original equipment manufacturers, fuel and fuel additive makers, and
other diesel engine technology organizations interested in an in-depth
review of EPA's retrofit verification process. The conference location
will soon be determined.
