Revolving Loan Fund to Reduce Locomotive
Emissions
Location:
Entire west coast region
EPA is providing a grant of $150,000 to The Climate
Trust, with $450,000 in matching funds. This project creates
a revolving debt and equity fund (the Fund) to finance sustainable
and replicable diesel emission reductions for locomotives and
rail equipment along the West Coast. Over a ten-year period,
this project will reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide by an
estimated 1,096 tons, particulate matter by 28 tons, carbon
monoxide by 318 tons, and hydrocarbons by 200 tons. The Fund
also expects to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 14,000 metric
tons and mitigate noise pollution.
