TCEQ Environmental Trade Fair & Conference May 5, 2015 Page 2 What does TERP do? The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) program provides financial incentives to upgrade or replace older heavy-duty vehicles, non-road equipment, locomotives, marine vessels, and stationary equipment to reduce nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions in eligible areas. With recent legislation, the TERP also supports programs to encourage the use of alternative fuels for transportation in Texas.

TCEQ Environmental Trade Fair & Conference May 5, 2015 Page 3 Primary Goal is to Reduce NO X TERP provides financial incentives for projects that reduce NO X emissions in eligible areas. NO X emissions combine with volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight to form ground level ozone (smog). NO X + VOC + Ozone

Applications are submitted through Participating Dealers and awards are made on a first-come, first- served basis. Participating Dealer will verify eligibility, arrange for inspection of the original vehicle to confirm that it is in operating condition, and arrange for disposition.

TCEQ Environmental Trade Fair & Conference May 5, 2015 Page 21 TNGVGP The new vehicle/engine must receive at least 75% of its power from CNG or LNG. The project must result in a reduction in NO x emissions of at least 25% as compared to the original engine. The new engine must be certified to emit no more than 0.2 grams per brake horsepower-hour of NO X. Grants awarded to cover up to 90% of the incremental cost of the natural gas vehicle or engine.
