South Coast AQMD is accepting applications for zero-emission infrastructure projects. Applicants can apply for funding for infrastructure projects in the South Coast Air Basin that support zero-emission heavy-duty equipment, which includes heavy-duty trucks, locomotives, cargo handling equipment, construction equipment, and marine vessels.

Applications will be evaluated using the Carl Moyer Program guidelines. Battery charging stations and hydrogen fueling stations supporting the abovementioned equipment are eligible to apply. The infrastructure projects can be new construction or expansion of an existing station. Other eligible projects under this solicitation include electrification of
agricultural pumps, shore-side electrification for marine vessels not subject to CARB’s At Berth Regulation, and infrastructure to charge or connect Transport Refrigeration Units (TRUs) for idling prevention.

Awards are available for up to 50 percent of the project cost for privately accessible charging or fueling stations, and up to 60 percent for publicly accessible stations. An additional 15 percent in award funding can be provided for charging projects that utilize solar or wind systems. Up to $200 million may be available and South Coast AQMD may seek partnerships with applicants to apply for state and federal grant funding.
