Sustainable Transportation Services
Emisstar manages the development and implementation of multi-phase plans to elevate on-road and non-road fleets to sustainable transportation levels, in terms of reducing greenhouse gas and other emissions, creating fuel savings, improving operations and complying with regulations. We help our clients create climate change mitigation strategies that incorporate promising technologies, fuels and processes to improve transportation efficiency and save money, while simultaneously reducing their carbon footprint.
In addition, Emisstar advises clients on the
EPA SmartWay program requirements and has the capabilities to perform the required model calculations and guide development of the SmartWay Action Plan needed to complete the membership process. Emisstar is working closely with the US EPA to pioneer the expansion of the SmartWay program to encompass a wider range of emissions and better support drayage and short-haul fleets, in addition to long-haul fleets.
Strategic Market Assessment
Emisstar deconstructs national clean air markets to uncover key opportunities and underlying market drivers and fundamentals. Through rigorous market research and monitoring, we assist clients with market assessment, creation and expansion. We also advise our clients on optimal strategic positioning of technologies associated with emissions control, renewable and conventional energy sources and fuel additives.
Advanced Vehicle Technology
Emisstar designs, implements and manages advanced mobile technology demonstrations for exhaust aftertreatment, idle reduction, biodiesel, alternative fuel and fuel additive technologies for the on-highway, construction, marine, locomotive and agriculture sectors.
Advisory Services
Our advisory services include providing clients with an in-depth understanding of mobile emissions regulations, mandates and policies. We analyze mobile emissions and diesel-related legislation to fully quantify the potential economic and technology impacts of shifts in policy. Through our research efforts and national reach, we work to identify and implement improvements in incentive and funding programs while advising clients how to anticipate and manage regulatory impacts.
Environmental Compliance Services
Emisstar provides a wide range of regulatory compliance services for transportation related air emissions control. We assist clients with understanding and working through regulatory issues and requirements at the district, state and federal levels, and we provide guidance and direction for new engine certification and fuel certification, as well as the EPA, California Air Resources Board, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and other emissions technology verification program processes.
Incentive Program Guidance
Emisstar guides clients through the complex rules associated with incentive programs and routinely assists grant recipients throughout the contracting and reimbursement phases of select funding and incentive programs.
Project Management and Implementation
Emisstar has a distinguished track record in managing large-scale retrofit projects, from overall project design to implementation. We bring a national reputation, key technology supplier relationships, intimate technical know-how and a desire for continuous innovation and performance improvement to every project we manage.
Emissions Research and Measurement
Emisstar utilizes portable emission monitoring systems (PEMS) to test, measure and quantify the baseline emission levels of mobile sources and the environmental performance of air emissions control technologies, fuels, additives and alternative energy sources. We work in partnership with industry and government to provide a unique combination of research, testing, analysis and reporting services to deliver meaningful results to our clients.
Technology Feasibility Evaluations
Emisstar performs technology feasibility evaluations to determine the applicability of candidate technologies and fuels to specific engines, equipment or fleets. Such studies may include on-site data collection, data processing, analysis and technology platform recommendations.
