2 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.

3 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

17 TCEQ Environmental Trade Fair & Conference May 5, 2015 Page 17 Texas Clean Fleet Program (TCFP) Provides incentives for the replacement of diesel vehicles with alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles Alternative fuels include compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), hydrogen, methanol (80% by volume), and electricity. This program allows for replacement of light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles. Applicants must own at least 75 vehicles and operate those vehicles in Texas. Applicants must apply to replace at least 20 vehicles. Grants may pay for up to 80% of the costs. Grant selections are competitive, based on cost-per-ton of NO X reduced.

20 TCEQ Environmental Trade Fair & Conference May 5, 2015 Page 20 Texas Natural Gas Vehicle Grant Program (TNGVGP) Provides grants for the replacement and repower of heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicles and engines with heavy-duty and medium-duty CNG or LNG vehicles and engines Vehicles must operate in counties in the area defined by the Clean Transportation Triangle (CTT). 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.

21 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.
