Trendowski, P.E. and\u00a0Mia Held, ENV SP, C&amp;S Engineers, Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Looking for funding for emission reduction projects at your airport? FAA\u2019s Voluntary Airport Low Emission (VALE) program and Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) Pilot Program are two potential sources. Although both programs have been around for over 10 years, eligibility and use of these programs have expanded to promote sustainability initiatives across the country. Application development is only one hurdle of the process. Intricacies such as Federal compliance, dealer and vendor coordination, and the completion of the bidding process, can make these programs somewhat of a minefield where experience is key to successful navigation.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>VALE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The VALE program began in 2004 to implement clean technology projects that improve air quality at airports. Representative projects have included gate electrification and pre-conditioned air, remote ground power, electric charging infrastructure for airline electric ground support equipment conversion, geothermal heating, solar hot water systems and hydrant fueling. Previously, VALE projects have been limited to airports in areas designated as non-attainment or maintenance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). \u00a0With the lobbying of airport trade organizations such as ACI-NA, Congress and FAA have opened the program to any commercial airport, regardless of location.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion of the VALE Program also eliminates the need for a Letter of Assurance from the State Air Quality regulatory agency, which was both time consuming and at times hindered the timely completion of an application. The majority of requirements remain, including emission reduction calculations using the latest version of the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT), a cost effectiveness analysis, public bidding of the project, and meeting the \u201cBuy American\u201d requirements. Sponsor reimbursement continues to be at least 75% for large to medium hubs and 90% for small hubs. For more information on the VALE program, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faa.gov\/airports\/environmental\/vale\">www.faa.gov\/airports\/environmental\/vale<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>ZEV<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While VALE is ideal for large infrastructure emission reduction projects, the FAA ZEV Pilot Program allows airports eligible for Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funding to purchase zero-emission airport vehicles and their requisite infrastructure. A zero-emission vehicle is free of criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG), currently limited to all-electric vehicles (EV) or those with hydrogen-powered drive trains. Over the past five years, the amount of FAA funding under the ZEV Program has steadily increased, with 16 airports being awarded approximately $19.5 million in FY2023 and additional supplementary funds made available in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to VALE, sponsor reimbursement under ZEV varies from 75-90% based on airport size, with AIP grant assurances and \u201cBuy American\u201d procedures required for ZEV funding. While electric vehicles and buses have become more prevalent, these requirements have not necessarily become easier to meet. Providing the necessary documentation to prove \u201cBuy American\u201d of an EV can be challenging and time consuming.\u00a0 A new requirement for the ZEV program in 2024 allows applicants with a long-term management plan for the transition to alternative fuel vehicles preference in the grant allocation process. \u00a0In addition, selection criteria does not factor in the location of an airport with respect to the NAAQS but by the greatest air quality benefits measured by cost per ton of emissions reduced.
