CEC AWARDS MORE THAN $5.5 MILLION TO SUPPORT GREEN TRANSPORTATION

摘要

The California Energy Commission (CEC) approved $5,580,773 in March for clean energy transportation projects, ranging from producing biofuels to making trucks run cleaner. The awards were made through the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program, created by Assembly Bill 118. The program is slated to invest approximately $90 million during this fiscal year to develop new transportation technologies and alternative fuels. It is replenished through surcharges on vehicle and boating registrations, and smog check and license plate fees. The state investments are safeguarded by matching fund requirements for awardees.
