Project Officer A QMD project manager name Background This section is a brief introduction describing the need for the technology and/or clean fuel, as defined by rules and regulations / mandates of AQMD, ARB, EPA, DOE, etc. If applicable, describe other relevant factors, such as economic issues, energy savings, etc. Project Objective This section should briefly describe the project objectives as originally stated in the Board (or EO) letter. If the objective evolved significantly during the contracting procedure, it should be noted how and why. Technology Description This section describes the general principles of operation and emissions control approach of the technology and/or clean fuel involved in the project. If applicable, discuss how the principle of operation differs from other, currently available equipment. This includes describing what the "advancement" actually is over currently available technologies. Status This section describes the status or progress of the project. If the project was completed, provide the date of completion and note that the final report is Date of Publication (as month year) on file with complete technical details of the project. Describe major project events, such as the development / testing / delivery of hardware (if applicable). If the project was terminated or ended prematurely you still need to file this report. Regardless of how it ended, per SB 199 you must describe any unanticipated problems that were encountered during the project, and how they were (or were not) resolved. If "fatal" problems were encountered, this section will be the heart of the report, since it would be unlikely that major benefits or emissions reductions were realized in a terminated project. Picture of technology that has been supported with A QAIDITechnology Advancement cosponsorship, if applicable. The picture, preferably a photograph, should clearly illustrate the technology. The size of the image should be about 3x3 tofit this two column format. The picture of the technology should be positioned on the front page Results This section summarizes all available emissions results and key performance characteristics. Performance is meant in the broadest terms, including (as applicable) emissions, energy efficiency, operation and maintenance requirements, overall environmental impacts, and performance tradeoffs. The primary emphasis of this section is the presentation of project data. Performance results should be summarized using clear, graphical depictions whenever possible: Graph or table summarizing key performance characteristics. Graphs are preferred over tables when possible. Graphical data presented should show the most representative data of the project's,liechnology's performance. One graph would be preferred, but no more than two data presentations in this document. Measured performance is to be compared with the objectives/goals set for the project. Comparisons I should focus on targeted emissions reductions and./or other key performance goals (e.g. range for electric vehicles). There should also be a brief discussion of performance tradeoffs. That is, did achieving one performance characteristic goal, such as emissions, compromise another performance characteristic, such as efficiency. Benefits This section crystallizes the above -noted performance characteristics into project benefits, e.g., reduced emissions, increased efficiency, reduced global warming gases, or other environmental benefits. The potential emissions inventory impact of this technology applied in the South Coast Air Basin must be estimated based on performance results of this project and some estimate of market penetration (concisely state assumptions). It clearly describes how those actual benefits compare with the benefits that were anticipated at the project's start. Be as detailed as possible, including discussion of overall environmental impacts and benefits. Address the question of whether the technology may reduce an air pollutant while improving (or worsening) problems with water pollution, solid waste, global warming, toxic emissions, etc. Project Costs This brief section describes the actual costs of the program (AQMD's funding, contribution as well as the overall cost sharing) and how they compare with the originally projected costs of the project as stated in the Board (or EO) letter. Cost information can be presented graphically, in a table, or in paragraph form. This section does not address cost effectiveness or cost of commercialization. Commercialization and Applications This section describes the anticipated or potential applications of the demonstrated technology and/or clean fuel. If applicable, discuss follow on projects to further improve the technology. If available or applicable, discuss expected costs of control and cost-effectiveness in the context of currently available technologies. Cost data should be noted as estimates or projections, especially since TA projects are often "first of a kind," Prospects for commercialization should include a discussion of the potential size of the target or primary market, and if there is another market segment or application that could use the technology. Discussion of the commercial status of the technology should address questions such as: (1) how close to a commercial product is it; (2) what work remains to bring it to market; (3) when could it be made commercially available and competitive; and (4) what barriers remain before the technology can be commercialized.
