纽约州2700万美元支持创新替代燃料：另有近1000万美元授予五个项目
美国纽约州州长 Kathy Hochul 11月5日宣布，州政府通过纽约州能源研究与发展局（NYSERDA）开放2700万美元资金，支持创新替代燃料方案；同时宣布近1000万美元已授予五个项目，用于开发、试点并提升替代燃料技术的安全性。资金来自该局「先进燃料与热能研究」计划，面向航空、重型货运、海运、铁路等难以电气化的行业以及备用电源领域。
霍楚尔说，面对前所未有的能源挑战，这批补助将帮助开发创新燃料方案，在减排、控成本与保电网可靠的同时加强能源独立。NYSERDA 总裁兼首席执行官 Doreen M. Harris 表示，把有前景的替代燃料从概念推进到实际应用，对理解其潜力、加速部署至关重要。
新开放的「即用型替代燃料创新项目」竞争性征集面向开发商、技术公司、制造商与研究机构，合格成品燃料包括可持续航空燃料、可再生天然气、可再生柴油、低碳甲醇与可再生丙烷，项目须设在纽约州内，分试点、示范与首创商业开发三类，并满足至少五成非 NYSERDA 资金配套要求。滚动申请开放至2029年12月31日下午3时（东部时间）或资金用完为止，意向书提交后该局将在三周内回复资格认定。
已授予的五个项目均在纽约州内实施：美国化学工程师学会氢能安全中心获85万美元，为急救人员与许可官员开发氢能安全培训；纽约市消防局获20万美元建设全队氢能应急能力；Hydroplane 公司获近200万美元设计建造用于内河散装氢运输的氢燃料电池货运船原型；Noblehurst Green Energy 获逾400万美元，在 Pavilion 的农场把废弃沼气转化为可持续航空燃料；SWITCH Maritime 获逾250万美元，设计组装向 Brooklyn Navy Yard 运氢的拖船驳船平台。（来源：纽约州能源研究与发展局）
New York Makes $27 Million Available for Innovative Alternative Fuels, Awards Nearly $10 Million to Five Projects
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on November 5 that $27 million is now available through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to advance innovative alternative fuel solutions in the state, and that nearly $10 million has been awarded to five projects to develop, pilot and enhance the safety of alternative fuel technologies. The funding, available through NYSERDA's Advanced Fuels & Thermal Energy Research program, targets hard-to-electrify sectors such as aviation, heavy-duty freight, maritime and rail, along with back-up power.
"As New York confronts energy challenges no generation has faced before, these grants will help develop innovative fuel solutions that not only strengthen our energy independence but do so while reducing emissions, holding down costs, and preserving grid reliability," Governor Hochul said. NYSERDA President and CEO Doreen M. Harris said advancing promising alternative fuels from concept to real-world application is critical to understanding their potential and accelerating deployment.
The competitive Drop-in Alternative Fuels Innovation Projects solicitation seeks proposals from developers, technology firms, manufacturers and research organizations to produce eligible fuels including sustainable aviation fuel, renewable natural gas, renewable diesel, low-carbon methanol and renewable propane; ammonia, raw biogas, biodiesel and hydrogen are not eligible finished products. Projects must be sited in New York and fall in pilot, demonstration or first-of-a-kind commercial categories, with a minimum 50 percent cost share from non-NYSERDA sources. Rolling submissions are accepted until December 31, 2029, at 3 p.m. ET or until all funds are committed, and NYSERDA will respond within three weeks to letters of intent on eligibility.
The five awarded projects are all New York-based: the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' Center for Hydrogen Safety received $850,000 to develop hydrogen safety training for first responders and permitting officials; the Fire Department of the City of New York received $200,000 to build department-wide capability to respond to hydrogen emergencies; Hydroplane, Ltd. received nearly $2 million to design and build a prototype hydrogen fuel cell-electric cargo watercraft; Noblehurst Green Energy received more than $4 million to build a pilot plant at Noblehurst Farms in Pavilion turning waste biogas into sustainable aviation fuel; and SWITCH Maritime LLC received more than $2.5 million to design and demonstrate a tug-propelled barge platform carrying hydrogen to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
