Clean Fuels Program Annual Report and Program Plan Update

Each year, on or before March 31, the AQMD must submit an annual report to the legislature summarizing the progress of the projects funded in the previous calendar year using AQMD’s Clean Fuels Program Funds. (See next section for specific reporting requirements.)  In addition to the Clean Fuels Program Annual Report, the AQMD also publishes an annual Clean Fuels Program Plan Update which focuses on proposed projects expected to be funded during the current calendar year and subsequent years.

In the past, the Clean Fuels Program Annual Report and the Clean Fuels Program Plan Update were published as separate documents.  As of March, 2004, the Annual Report and the Plan Update were combined in a single document.

Technology Advancement Office Clean Fuels Program Plan Update

The Clean Fuels Program Plan Update identifies potential projects to be considered for funding during the calendar year.  The proposed projects reflect promising low- and zero-emission technologies and applications that are emerging in the different source categories.  This update includes a number of proposed projects, not all of which are expected to be funded in the current fiscal year given the available budget.  Projects not funded in the calendar year may be considered for funding in subsequent years.  There is no requirement to expend all of the allocated monies in any specific area within this calendar year.
