The New Technology Research and Development (NTRD) Program provides incentives<br />
to encourage and support research, development, and commercialization of<br />
technologies that reduce pollution in Texas. The primary objective of the NTRD program<br />
is to promote the development of commercialization for technologies that will support<br />
projects that may be funded under the TERP Emissions Reduction Incentive Grants<br />
Program, including advanced technologies such as fuel cells, catalysts, and fuel<br />
additives. An individual, business, governmental agency or educational organization<br />
may apply for a grant. Each proposed new technology applicant will need to<br />
demonstrate the projected potential for reduced emissions of NOx and the costeffectiveness<br />
of the technology once it has been commercialized; the potential for the<br />
technology to contribute significantly to air quality goals; and a strong commercialization<br />
plan.<br />
In 2005, the TCEQ and Gas Technology <strong>Institute</strong> signed an agreement for the<br />
development of hydrogen fueling station technology as part of the NTRD Program.<br />
Additionally, House Bill 2481 includes language specifying that the NTRD grants may be<br />
used for advanced technologies for new engines and vehicles that produce very-low or<br />
zero emissions of oxides of nitrogen, including stationary and mobile fuel cells.<br />
