ADEQ’s Business Assistance Program, which the P2 Program is a part, offers environmental loans for small businesses (<100 employees).
	The loans are low interest loans at 80% of the prime lending rate and max out at $45,000.
	Eligible loan projects are for:
	•Pollution control
	•Pollution prevention
	•Waste reduction
	Over the last couple of years, many independent truck drivers have been getting loans for Alternate Power Units or APUs. The truckers are able to use the APUs to run the cab of their 18-wheelers rather than idling the trucks.  Generally, the cost savings in diesel fuel in just one week’s use can pay the monthly payment on the loan (run $8,000-$10,000).  From the fuel savings, you can calculate all sorts of P2 data:  CO2, BTUs, $, NOx, PM.
