The NC Clean Energy Technology Center at NC State University, with support from the NC Department of Transportation and partners, is organizing this educational workshop tour as part of the $6.2M three-year Clean Fuel Advanced Technology Project.
More than 2.9 million North Carolinians with respiratory and heart-related diseases are at direct risk due to the health effects of poor air quality. Lower carbon fuels, transportation efficiency, and tools to promote changes in driver behavior help reduce emissions and support fuel conservation and diversity. They can also help business and government save money and meet sustainability goals.
