The Marine Program is Currently Open and has approximately $187,115 in funding for projects remaining.
The APCD’s Carl Moyer Incentive Program provides funding to help pay for projects that reduce heavy-duty diesel engine emissions prior to any regulatory requirement. Applicants wishing to repower commercial harbor craft with engines meeting the current emission standards may qualify for grants of up to 65% of the eligible costs of the new engine, subject to cost effectiveness limits and other requirements of the program, and a $300,000 per-grantee cap. Additional funding was recently authorized by the APCD Board of Directors and there is currently in excess of $300,000 available for this program. Interested parties should complete a Marine Engine Repower Application (link below).
Applications or questions about the program should be directed to APCD Grant Staff (805) 781-5912.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) recently approved amendments to the Commercial Harbor Craft (CHC) Regulation that will require all vessels, including commercial fishing vessels, to meet emission standards via engine replacement and/or exhaust aftertreatment.
