Construction vehicles in Houston are being outfitted with new technology to reduce emissions. This tech is coming from the Univerisity of Houston via a half a million dollar grant from the EPA.
"UH's researchers will supervise the installation of Nett Technologies' BlueMAX™ selective catalytic reduction system, which is classified by the EPA as an emerging technology, on five TxDOT nonroad vehicles. They then will do testing and analysis on the BlueMAX's ability to reduce emissions, which will provide the EPA with real-world performance data."
I really hope this catches on, I applaud Houston for being forward thinking regarding emissions and the environment despite the fact that so much of their economy and infrastructure is based off of one of the biggest enemies to the EPA's attempt to meet emissions goals (i.e. big oil).
