Overview
• Why Diesel Retrofits?
• What funding is available?
• Diesel Retrofit Boot Camps
1
Why Reduce Emissions from Diesel Engines?
• Diesel engines contribute to air pollution
–
–
–
–
–
PM2.5
Ultra-fine solid particles
NOx
Toxic HC
SOx
• Increased stringency of EPA air quality regulations to reduce
above pollutants
• Benefits to society in reducing emissions from diesel engines
–
–
–
–
Better protect the public health (e.g. reduce asthma attacks)
Reduce visibility impairment
Protect agriculture
And much more

U.S. Diesel Fuel & Vehicle Programs
• 2000 Heavy-duty 2007-10 Standards:
–
–
Diesel sulfur control (15 ppm maximum)
Stringent heavy-duty diesel vehicle standards (90% reduction)
• 2004 Nonroad Tier 4 Standards:
–
–
Diesel sulfur control (2 steps - 500 ppm in 2008, 15 ppm in 2011)
Stringent emission standards, based on on-highway standards (in
most cases 90% reduction)
• Locomotive and Marine Diesel Standards:
–
–
–
Marine diesel sulfur control (15 ppm maximum in 2011) as part of
nonroad rule
Same type technologies as on-highway and nonroad expected
Proposed rulemaking in late 2006 or early 2007

But What About Existing
Offroad Diesel Engines?
•
•
•
Public health cannot wait 25 years
Approximately 11 million total diesel engines of
which approximately 5 million offroad diesel engines
are in operation today in the U.S.
Diesel Engines are extremely durable
–
•
2030 before existing fleet turns over
Retrofit technologies, clean fuels and operational
changes can make a difference

Funding
• Diesel retrofit project popular with current
administration
• Approximately $50-$70 Million Available for
diesel retrofit projects

Examples of Federal Grants for Tribal
Retrofit-Related Activities
• U.S. Dept of Agriculture – Scientific Cooperation
Research Program
• U.S. Dept. of Agriculture – Environmental Quality
Incentive Program (EQIP)
• U.S. Dept. of Agriculture – Pollution Prevention
Grant Program
• U.S. Department of Transportation – Tribal
Technical Assistance Program
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – Pollution
Prevention Grant Program
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – Tribal Air
Pollution Control Program
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – State and
Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG)
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency –
Community Action for a Renewed Environment

What is the Diesel Retrofit Boot Camp™
• A comprehensive, interactive training approach for those
interested or involved in planning, implementing, and
evaluating programs to reduce emissions from existing
diesel engines, as well as those who are considering
using retrofit products
• The Boot Camp is designed as a two-day program, but
can easily be modified to fit the particular needs and time
availability of those attending
• The Boot Camp was developed for the Western
Regional Air Partnership (WRAP) by Emissions
Advantage, LLC,
– Seven Boot Camps were presented in 2006 with a
combined attendance of over 300 participants

electrification, alternative fuels
Repair/Rebuild – maintenance, repair, engine
component upgrade,
Repower – Install new engine in existing
vehicle/equipment
Replace – Replace existing vehicle/equipment
Reduce – Limit idling, and other operational
changes

What are the Benefits of Attending the
Diesel Retrofit Boot Camp™
Learn how to:
• Plan, design, and implement a successful retrofit project
• Select the right retrofit technologies and strategies to
meet your program objectives
– Understand the basics of each retrofit strategy, when
it can be applied, the benefits and the application
limitations
• Identify sources of funding for your retrofit project
• Use proven techniques in writing a request for grant
funding
• Build partnerships and recruit fleet participants
• Develop methods to evaluate your retrofit project
