Clean Diesel’s ECS-branded Purifilter® Plus diesel particulate filter (DPF) emissions control system was approved by the NJDEP for retrofitting under the Mandatory Diesel Retrofit Program which requires owners of certain diesel-powered vehicles and equipment, such as dump, recycling and tow trucks, to install control devices to reduce the emissions of fine particulate matter, commonly called “soot.” The State is investing in this program, which requires the retrofitting of a variety of vehicles and equipment by established deadlines.

More information on the NJDEP Mandatory Diesel Retrofit Program can be found on the State’s dedicated website at www.stopthesoot.org .

The Space Foundation established the Space Technology Hall of Fame (www.spacetechhalloffame.org) in 1988 to increase public awareness of the benefits that result from space exploration programs and to encourage further innovation. It honors technologies that were originally developed for space applications and have now been modified for products and services used on Earth.

Flexible aerogels were originally developed to serve as a barrier to the extreme temperatures that occur during rocket launches and that affect spacecraft as they are exposed to both high heat and severe cold. Because the initial silica aerogels were fragile and expensive, NASA contracted with the Cryogenics Test Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center and Aspen Systems, Inc. to produce affordable and easy-to-use aerogel composite blankets for space applications.

“America’s tax code needs reform. High corporate tax rates place U.S. firms at a competitive disadvantage with those from most other industrialized nations, and the complexity of our tax structure imposes high costs of compliance as well. Moreover, the temporary nature of many tax provisions creates additional uncertainty for job creators, especially for those of us in capital-intensive industries that realize returns over many years or even decades.

“While Congress considers options to make America’s tax code more competitive, current tax policy that encourages private investment in U.S. manufacturing jobs should continue. One example of sensible tax policy is the Production Tax Credit for renewable energy. The PTC does not enable the federal government to choose which companies prosper, but rather creates a market in which smart investments and sound operations can be successful, and in which U.S. customers reap the benefits of a diversified energy portfolio. The PTC enables our country to pursue an ‘all of the above’ energy strategy.

“The PTC has leveraged more than $60 billion of private investment in the wind industry alone. This industry directs capital to rural America, and supports a manufacturing base that has more than doubled since 2004, and now includes more than 400 manufacturing facilities across the country.

“Chairman Tiberi deserves credit for drawing attention to expiring tax provisions such as the PTC. We will continue to work with Republicans and Democrats on the Committee and share with them how the PTC helps create jobs across America. The PTC has won bipartisan support many times over, and it remains worthy of that support in the years ahead.“
