Innovative Technology Resources DEQ encourages technological innovation for improving environmental quality while sustaining economic growth. New technologies can help Virginians to better and more cost-effectively protect our environment. Improved processes and devices can improve business productivity while reducing the generation of waste and pollution. At the same time innovators and investors join together to create businesses and industries that produce new environmentally favorable goods and services. The DEQ innovative technology program had several components, including: encouraging participation in demonstration/validation programs (such as EPA's Environmental Technology Verification program) that generate credible performance data; exploring opportunities to join with other states in reciprocal acceptance of new technologies and removal of impediments to new technology; enhancing awareness of new technologies by potential users and regulators; connecting technology developers and entrepreneurs to supporting business and technical resources; and performing outreach and helping companies to showcase new environmentally preferable technologies. See the DEQ Combined Heat and Power/Distributed Energy Resources Pages including links to utilities, interconnection standards, and air regulatory requirements.
