The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced $1.7 million in funding to 16 small businesses across the country to develop new technologies that it says protect the environment while growing the economy.
The two winners in New York state include DMax Plasma LLC of Potsdam (St. Lawrence County), which will receive $98,991 to develop a competitive remediation technology to chemically reduce Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in contaminated water quickly. The other New York winner is Vergason Technology, Inc. of Van Etten (Chemung County), which will get $99,441 to create a green process for manufacturing plastic chrome.
“EPA is providing small businesses with financial support to develop innovative technologies that will address urgent environmental and public health needs across the nation,” EPA Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a news release. “This year, we are encouraging the development of a variety of new technologies, including innovations to help address PFAS and improve water quality nationwide.”
The announced contracts are funded through EPA’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, which encourages the development and commercialization of “novel technologies that support EPA’s mission to protect human health and the environment.” The small businesses getting funded are working on a range of topics including water quality, air quality, land revitalization, homeland security, manufacturing, and construction materials.
EPA is awarding 17 Phase I contracts to 16 small businesses for up to $100,000 for six months. Phase I recipients are eligible to apply for a phase II contract, which will help commercialize the technology that was conceptualized in phase I. A phase II contract can fund these companies with up to $300,000 to develop their environmental technology for the marketplace, the EPA said.
