Details:
The New Technology Implementation Grant Program (NTIG) program provides grants to assist in the implementation of new technologies to reduce emissions of regulated pollutants from facilities and other stationary sources in Texas.
The primary objective of the NTIG program is to offset the incremental cost of emissions reductions of pollutants from facilities and other stationary sources in Texas.
Proposals must include 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, including the five-year reporting period. The total amount to be awarded under this grant program will depend upon the amount of revenue received in the TERP Trust Fund. Currently, $9.8 million is projected to be available for this program. Of that amount, a minimum of $1 million will be set aside for Electricity Storage Projects related to renewable energy.
Eligible Project Categories
- New Technology-Stationary Sources
- New Technology Oil and Gas Projects
- Electricity-Storage Projects
Eligible Applicants
- Eligible applicants include individuals, corporations, organizations, governments or governmental subdivisions or agencies, business trusts, partnerships, associations, or other legal entities.
- Business entities such as corporations or partnerships must have an active registration with the Texas Secretary of State by the date of the grant round opening. Businesses must maintain an active registration during the contract period if awarded a grant.
- Applicants must be the owner or operator of a stationary source located in the state of Texas that emits pollutants (a “facility”). Applicants who are not owners of the facility must provide evidence of operational control for the duration of the contract.
- Businesses or other entities in which a TCEQ employee, spouse, or family member of a TCEQ employee has a direct or indirect interest, financial or otherwise, may be prohibited from receiving a grant, depending upon the nature of the interest. Applicants must disclose known apparent, potential, or actual conflicts of interest to TERP staff at the time the application is submitted.
