EPA and NHTSA Adopt First-Ever Program to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Improve Fuel Efficiency of Medium-and Heavy-Duty Vehicles

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/climate/regulations.htm

http://www.nhtsa.gov/fuel-economy

The above proposal is in response to the below Presidential Memoranum.

EPA 2011 Compliance

Power Systems Tier 4 Regulations

Beginning on January 1, 2011, Tier 4 regulations will take effect and generator set as well as industrial engine manufacturers will be required to produce Tier 4 complaint product. The EPA Tier 4 requirements enforce reductions in Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions. These are significant reductions as Electric Power products must produce 93% less NOx and 94% less PM compared to Tier 1 products.

Emergency Exemption

Since the Tier 4 emissions levels are so low, the EPA decided that emergency standby generator sets would be exempt from Tier 4 regulations, including any associated aftertreatment. The EPA states that emergency standby applications can utilize current Tier products such as today’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 offerings. The EPA has carefully defined ‘emergency standby generator’ to mean only those installations that operate when there is a loss of normal power. Generators used for peak shaving, parallel operation with the grid, or storm avoidance will not be granted an emergency exemption and will be required to be Tier 4 compliant.

Applicable Product Categories

The list of applications that will require Tier 4 certified generator sets in 2011 are as follows:

• Non-Emergency Standby Units

• Prime Power Applications

• Load Management/Peak Shaving

• Electric Power Rental Units

Tier 4 Disclaimer

Just as with prior Tier levels for on-highway, non-road and stationary engine products, State and local agencies (particularly those with non-attainment status for air quality standards) may impose additional regulations over the EPA’s Tier 4 regulations. For generator sets, this may impact the emergency exemption clause for generators in certain areas. As of January 2010, there are no State or local rules/regulations that impact the Federal Tier 4 rules for generator sets in New York or Connecticut.

EPA 2010 Compliance

EGR vs. SCR All on-highway engine manufacturers are nearing the EPA mandated Jan. 1, 2010 deadline to produce engines meeting new emissions compliance standards that reduce Particulate Matter (PM) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). Most heavy-duty diesel engine manufacturers (Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Mack, Paccar and Volvo) have selected a technology referred to as Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) to meet the 2010 standards. However, Navistar has chosen a different route with Advanced Engine Gas Recirculation (EGR) as their solution.

Both technologies have their pro’s and con’s, but they still need to meet the mandate from the EPA that 2010 compliant on-highway engines must limit NOx to .2 grams per brake-horse-power-hour (g/bhp-hr).

State Compliance Rules/Regulations

New York Rules/Regulations

For customers bidding on work in New York for the state, the contracts probably will incorporate emissions requirements. Most requirements include periodic reporting by contractors regarding use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Fuel as well as EPA or CARB verified Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART). Below are the basics of the emissions rules/regulations currently in place in different areas of the State of New York. Your customers need to carefully read their specific contract language and review the most updated form of the rule/regulation that may be noted in the contract regarding emissions requirements.

NYC Local Law 77

•Applies to: Any public funded job within the five boroughs of NYC or at a NYC DEP site.

• Requirements: Non-Road vehicles/equipment with an engine greater than 50 hp are required to use Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel (ULSD) Fuel and utilize EPA or CARB verified BART.

NY State Rule 248 (Diesel Emissions Reduction Act of 2006 “DERA”)

• Applies to: Any State funded job in New York

• Requirements: As of 12/31/10, 100% of On-Highway Vehicles on work sites funded by NY State agencies are required to use ULSD fuel and utilize EPA or CARB verified BART

Westchester County Diesel Engine Retrofit Law

• Applies to: Any public funded job site in Westchester County

• Requirements: On-Highway Vehicles (greater than 14,000 lbs) and Non- Road Vehicles/Equipment (50HP or greater) must use ULSD Fuel and utilize EPA or CARB verified BART.

NY/NJ Port Authority Clean Diesel Construction Requirements

• Applies to: Any job site under the jurisdiction of the NY/NJ Port Authority (Example – World Trade Center, JFK Airport)

• Requirements: Contractor must follow the Environmental Performance Commitments (“EPC” Requirements)

• File a Diesel engine Emissions Mitigation Plan

• Follow Anti-Idling Policy • Use ULSD Fuel for all diesel powered vehicles/equipment

• Install EPA or CARB verified BART on any engine greater than 50 hp

Westchester County – Emissions Standards for Onroad and Nonroad vehicles A 2006 law enacted by Westchester County took full effect on September 1, 2009 requiring all contractors performing work for Westchester County to use ultra-low sulfer diesel (ULSD) fuel and retrofit on-road and off-road equipment with Best Available Technology (BAT). The intent of the law is to reduce particulate matter (PM) by 85% on all construction sites where work is being performed on behalf of Westchester County with a contract value greater than $150,000.

New Jersey Rules/Regulations

Connecticut Rules/Regulations

Connecticut Clean Air Construction Initiative

Impacts off-road equipment being used on the 7.2 mile work site of I-95 undergoing road widening and bridge replacement. The urban areas where the work is being performed (New Haven, Branford and East Haven) have non-attainment status from the EPA for Ozone and Particulate Matter. Retrofit devices must be EPA/CARB approved or certified by the manufacture to provide the minimum reductions of 20% PM, 40% CO, and 50% Hydrocarbons. Most Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC’s) enable this level of a reduction and are accepted by the Connecticut DEP.

Glossary of Emissions Control Technology Systems

• Active Regeneration System: system providing extra heat to the diesel particulate filter to enhance the regeneration cycle. [OE (Original Equipment) or retrofit]

• Catalyzed Diesel Particulate Filter (CDPF): catalyzed honeycomb wall-flow filter that traps and oxidizes PM. The oxidation process cleans or regenerates the filter. Also dramatically reduces CO and HC. Can be packaged in combination with a muffler or silencer. [OE or retrofit]

• Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV): device that captures and returns crankcase emissions to the engine, re-directing pollutants back to the intake system for re-combustion. [OE or retrofit]

• Continuously Regenerating Trap (CRT): device relying on NO2 to regenerate a non-catalyzed diesel particulate filter. The NO2 is generated by a diesel oxidation catalyst placed before the diesel particulate filter. [OE or retrofit]

• Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC): flow-through catalyst that oxidizes pollutants in the exhaust stream of a diesel engine. Reduces HC, CO and to a lesser extent, PM. Can be packaged in combination with a muffler or silencer. [OE or retrofit]

• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF): a wall-flow filter containing alternating blocked channels that forces exhaust gas through its porous walls, capturing PM. Diesel particulate filters are used for the reduction of particulate matter. Can be packaged in combination with a muffler or silencer. [OE or retrofit]

• Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR): device that re-circulates part of the engine exhaust back into the engine to cool peak combustion temperatures, this in-turn reduces NOx emissions. [OE or retrofit]

•Hydroxy Combustion Catalys (HCC): This system utilizes the on-demand production of orthohydrogen /parahydrogen /oxygen gas blend (hydroxy gas) to act as a catalyst to burn long fuel molecule chains to improve combustion, reduce overall emissions, increase horsepower and improve fuel economy. [Retrofit]

• Low Temperature Combustion (LTC): an engine management system that precisely controls combustion to maintain thermal efficiency and avoid forming emission pollutants which normally form due to incomplete combustion. [OE]

• Non-Selective Catalytic Reduction (NSCR): NOx reduction catalyst, also known as a three-way catalyst that uses CO and HC over a catalyst to reduce NOx. [OE or retrofit]

• NOx Adsorber Catalyst (lean NOx trap – LNT): a device used to reduce NOx emissions from a lean-burn internal combustion engine, whereas NOx is adsorbed into the catalyst and during the regeneration cycle is changed into N2 and H2O. [OE or retrofit]

• Oxidation Catalyst (OC): a flow-through catalyst that oxidizes pollutants in the exhaust stream of a leanburn, natural gas engine. Reduces HC and CO. Can be packaged in combination with a muffler or silencer. Sometimes called a two-way catalyst. [OE or retrofit]

• Passive Regeneration: system relying on the exhaust heat of the engine, duty cycle and engine load to initiate the regeneration cycle (point at which the DPF oxidizes accumulated particulate and self-cleans) of a diesel particulate filter.

• Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR): as related to emissions, a process to reduce NOx emissions from a lean-burn engine or oxygen-rich exhaust. Typically a reductant, such as urea or ammonia, is injected into the exhaust where it reacts with NOx over a catalyst to yield N2 and H2O. [OE or retrofit]

• Three-Way Catalyst (TWC): catalyst used with spark-ignited, rich-burn engines to reduce CO, HC and NOx emissions. The reduction process of these emissions is called “three-way” conversion. [OE or retrofit]
