ABSTRACT
EPA has developed a Technology Innovation Network to help promote innovative environmental technologies along the continuum of technology development and deployment. The Network is a working group comprised of senior representatives across EPA programs and offices. One of the initial tasks of the Network is to pursue technology innovation opportunities in cross-program areas, one of which is air sensors. The Network will showcase pilot projects on air sensors and monitoring that employ innovative ideas on practices, tools, and methods that can be beneficially replicated elsewhere. In evaluating these pilot projects, the Agency will identify barriers to progress, how those barriers were overcome, and lessons learned, including recommended policy options that could be applied in other situations. The Agency also is finding new ways to reach out to the technology development community and, as a first step, is identifying priority environmental technology needs where innovation could lead to major improvements, efficiencies, and private sector opportunities.
