DOVER, Del. (AP) - A state economic development panel is considering whether to approve a $10 million grant to the owners of the Delaware City refinery to help pay for new pollution control measures.
Delaware City Refining Co. asking for the strategic fund grant to help offset the expense of converting combustion turbines at the refinery to natural gas, resulting in reduced emissions of nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide.
The Council on Development Finance was to consider the request Monday at its meeting at the Buena Vista conference center in New Castle.
The council also will consider a request from the DuPont Co. for a $920,000 grant to test a manufacturing process for a new product. DuPont says the project involves manufacturing new organic light emitting diode materials for use in electronic displays.
