Oregon DEQ: Clean Diesel Grant Program

The state of Oregon currently does not have funding to award for clean diesel projects.

Under a federal program administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) competitive grants for a variety of clean diesel projects are available annually. See EPA's website on Grants and Funding for more information about the National Funding Assistance Program

Grants have previously been available for:

Up to 100% of the certified cost of a qualifying Oregon diesel engine retrofit, and
Up to 25% of the certified cost of a qualifying Oregon non-road diesel engine repower
Scrapping a truck engine

Clean Diesel Service Providers

This program is a partnership with vendors in the private sector and serves a number of purposes: it educates and recruits companies that repair and maintain engines and install retrofits. It allows Providers to refer their customers for clean diesel projects—many of the projects funded with grant awards resulted from these referrals. In addition to grant funding, DEQ works with Providers to identify projects for tax credits; several major fleets are already engaged in such projects.

DEQ maintains a list of Recognized Clean Diesel Service Providers. This list is not a recommendation from DEQ, and DEQ does not guarantee the work of the listed facilities; it is a guide of facilities that meet minimum experience and equipment requirements. Consumers are responsible for screening the facility to ensure they can perform the services according to their needs.
