1 Diesel Retrofit – Reducing Emissions from America’s Legacy Diesel Fleet

2 2007 Highway Engine Rule and 2010 Nonroad Diesel Rule Developing Regulations for Locomotive and Marine Diesels Voluntary Programs for the Existing Diesel Fleet EPA Strategy for Reducing Diesel Emissions

3 Interest In Diesel Retrofits Continues To Grow Diesel engines vital to economyDiesel engines vital to economy Growing recognition of their impacts on health, visibility, and climateGrowing recognition of their impacts on health, visibility, and climate Slow fleet turnoverSlow fleet turnover Retrofit technologies are available today and continue to improveRetrofit technologies are available today and continue to improve

4 Repower or Replace What is Diesel Retrofit? Repair/Rebuild Refuel Retrofit

5 Support From Federal Government Continues to Grow One of EPA’s highest enviro. prioritiesOne of EPA’s highest enviro. priorities Accelerating verification of retrofit technologiesAccelerating verification of retrofit technologies Developing emission reduction calculatorsDeveloping emission reduction calculators Publishing guidance on how to provide retrofit incentives for the construction sector and other industriesPublishing guidance on how to provide retrofit incentives for the construction sector and other industries New policies to provide greater SIP and conformity credit for diesel retrofitsNew policies to provide greater SIP and conformity credit for diesel retrofits

6 Federal Funding - EPA  FY04 –$5 million for school buses –$1.8 million for demonstration grants  FY05 –$7.5 million for school buses –$1 million for demonstration retrofits  FY06 –$10 million for school buses –$10-12 million expected for innovative retrofits

7 Federal Funding - DOE  Energy Policy Act of 2005 –$1.6 billion authorized for various diesel retrofit programs over 6 years –The largest and most flexible of these was introduced by Voinovich and Clinton and approved overwhelmingly by the Senate

8 Grant and Low Cost Loan Funds Authorized for FY 2006-2011 in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 State-Administered Retrofit Grants and Loans ($300M) Nationally-Administered Retrofit Grants and Loans to Government and Nonprofit Entities ($700M) Biodiesel Testing ($25M) Idle Reduction via EPA SmartWay Program ($140M) Truck Retrofit & Modernization for Ports & Hauling* ($100M) Clean School Buses* ($110M) Advanced Vehicle Pilots ($200M) Total = $1.575 billion ($2.015 billion including required matches). Additional, unspecified funds authorized as necessary for programs with an asterisk. Programs requiring a match of non-federal funds denoted with an "(m)" in the pie piece. (m)

9 Federal Funding - FTA  SAFETEA-LU (transportation bill) –Authorizes $1.7 billion/year in CMAQ funds –Instructs states and MPOs to give priority to diesel retrofit projects –Funds can be used for outreach and tech assistance to fleet owners, as well as for purchase of technologies –Funds can only be used …  In nonattainment and maintenance areas, and  On vehicles & equipment used for road building and maintenance

10 How can Clark County Develop a Retrofit Program? WRAP Mobile Sources Forum WRAP has partnered with Emissions Advantage, LLC to create a Diesel Retrofit “Boot Camp” Training Program 2-day Boot Camp covers: technology, funding, emission reduction strategies, partnering with fleets WRAP would like to hold a boot camp in Las Vegas or Phoenix
