Mobile Sources Emissions Reductions Grant The North Carolina Division of Air Quality (DAQ) administers the Mobile Sources Emissions Reduction program to fund the replacement of older diesel vehicles with cleaner alternatives. The goal of the program is to achieve signification reductions in diesel emissions, including nitrogen oxides (NOx) and greenhouse gases. Program Details Mobile Sources Emissions Reduction grants can fund a wide range of projects. Projects include: Repowering on-road and non-road equipment with newer, cleaner engines Replacing old on-road and non-road equipment with new, cleaner vehicles Converting vehicles to run on alternative fuels Expanding medium and heavy duty electric vehicle usage throughout the state Any private or public sector entity with a physical presence in North Carolina is eligible to apply.

This competitive process provides funding to projects that will maximize reductions in emissions. Applications typically open in early fall each year. Awardees are announced by spring the following year. Current Grant Opportunities The 2021 Mobile Sources Emissions Reduction grant awardees were announced in April 2022. 2021 Grant Awardee List Applications for 2022 Mobile Sources Emissions Reduction grants are expected to open later this year.
