- Key Elements of the Program
- Engine Standards
- Fuel Provisions
- Health Benefits of the Program
- HD2007 Progress – What’s Happening Now?

## Air Quality Need & Public Health Concerns

- Diesel trucks and buses comprise 28% NOx and 20% PM mobile source emissions nationwide
- Contributions are even higher in some areas with serious air quality problems
- In addition, diesel exhaust has been implicated in an increased risk of lung cancer and respiratory disease
- EPA has concluded that diesel exhaust is a likely human carcinogen
- PM and NOx from diesel also contribute to asthma and other serious respiratory health problems

## Key Elements of the Engine & Vehicle Program

- Applies new NOx and PM standards to heavy-duty engines and vehicles
- 90%+ emission reductions—gasoline-like levels
- Based on high efficiency emission control devices (like passenger vehicle catalysts)
- Phase-in of NOx standards 2007-2010
- Incentives for early technology introduction

## Key Elements of the Fuel Program

- Reduces diesel fuel sulfur levels nationwide
- Enables use of advanced emission control technology
- Highway diesel fuel sulfur cap of 15 ppm
- 80% by 2006
- 100% by 2010
- Flexibility for small and Western refiners

## Basic Program Requirements

*Basic Program Requirements*

## Other Engine Provisions

- _Early Incentive Program_
- Provided to diesel engines that meet the program’s final standards
- A diesel engine meeting the new standards early (sold before 2007) counts as 1.5 such diesel engines later
- Predicated on the assurance that the engines will use 15 ppm diesel fuel

- _Averaging, Banking, and Trading_
- Engine families certified below the standard (credit generation) can offset engine families certified above the standard (credit use)
- Credits can be banked for later use or traded to other manufacturers
- Credits can also be transferred across averaging sets, with some restrictions
- Family Emission Limit (FEL) Caps
- NOx:  2.0 g/bhp-hr (2007-09)
- NOx:  0.50 g/bhp-hr (2010+)
- PM:  0.02 g/bhp-hr (2007+)

## Other Engine Provisions

- _Test Procedure Improvements_
- Changes to laboratory PM and gaseous measurement requirements
- Ensures accurate measurement of low-level emissions from 2010 technology engines
- Includes new provisions to allow manufacturers to use alternative measurement techniques

- _NOx Phase-in Provisions_
- NOx standard is phased-in at 50% of production from 2007-10
- ABT provisions can be combined with the phase-in to allow engines to certify to a NOx value roughly half-way between 2.5 g/bhp-hr and 0.2 g/bhp-hr through 2009

- Very encouraging rate of progress to date.
- No insurmountable issues at this time.
- Key technical challenge remaining is NOx adsorber durability.
- 	_15ppm Desulfurization Technology_
- No technological impediments to going forward.
- In general, refiners are where they are expected to be.
- Some are proceeding ahead of schedule, others are evaluating compliance options
- New technologies have been introduced which could lower costs to produce 15 ppm S fuel.

## Progress Toward 2007:EPA Technology Progress Reviews: Engines

- 2002 EPA Progress Review report - progress made on all fronts:
- PM filter in production in U.S. on HD applications
- NOx aftertreatment improvements in all key areas (durability, wider temperature range, desulfation)
- Technical issues remain, but industry is focused on resolving remaining issues
- 2003 Status
- EPA has continued progress updated meetings with engine and aftertreatment companies
- Thus far, we have met with all the majority of the HD diesel companies
- Progress meetings will be completed in Fall 2003
- EPA 2nd Progress Review report in early 2004

## Progress Toward 2007:EPA Technology Progress Reviews: Engines

- 2002  2003
- Technology focus has shifted from R&D programs to product development
- Engine companies have reached or are approaching technology down-select
- Most companies have multiple technology paths capable of achieving 2007 standards
- NOx control options being considered include engine-out, NOx adsorber, urea-SCR
- Senior engineers preparing for formal company gate reviews to choose final 2007 package
- Most companies will make decision in 4th quarter 2003 or 1st quarter 2004

## Progress Toward 2007:EPA Engine Technology Test Program

- EPA began NOx adsorber test programs in 1999 - with key support from MECA companies
- Results thus far include;
- Demonstrated 2010 standards, SAE papers 2001-01-1351, 2001-01-3619
- New NOx adsorber desulfation techniques, SAE paper 2002-01-2871
- Thermal aging investigations, SAE paper 2003-01-0042
- Novel vehicle packaging investigation, SAE paper 2003-01-2305
- Future work looking at long term durability

## Progress Toward 2007:EPA Technology Progress Reviews: Fuel

- 2002 EPA Progress Review Report
- Progress made on all fronts
- Desulfurization technology for producing 15 ppmS diesel fuel was well understood
- Technology options for refiners were increasing resulting in better economic feasibility—vendors were making progress in the areas of catalyst, substrate, and coating development
- Technical issues remained, but industry was focused on resolving remaining issues
- Industry was where we expected it to be
- 2003 Status
- EPA has continued discussions with refiners, fuel distributors, and fuel marketers
- Pre-compliance report results released later this year

## Progress Toward 2007:Refiner/Importer Pre-Compliance Reports

- Annual pre-compliance reports due June 1, 2003-05
- All refiners and importers are required to submit reports, including the following information:
- Projected volumes of 15 ppm and 500 ppm S diesel fuel
- Estimates of credits to be generated/used
- Engineering plans and capital commitments
- Permit status and construction progress
- The purpose of the reports is to help facilitate the market for credit trading under the TCO
- EPA will summarize the reports
- Presenting generalized data on a PADD basis in annual reports
- Maintaining confidentiality of data

**Notes:**
We will not hold refiners liable if actual actions deviate from reported information.

## Progress Toward 2007:Industry is On Target

- Results are consistent with the expectations in the final rule and EPA’s 2002 Highway Diesel Progress Review
- However, results are preliminary
- Plans could still change, prompting different results next year
- Most companies are in the planning stage now and expect to make final decisions by 1Q 2004
- Flexibilities will be used (small refiner options, GPA option, hardship)

**Notes:**
We are very pleased with the number of responses and the completeness of the reports
More than 95% of all highway diesel fuel refineries/importers representing more than 99% of the total highway diesel fuel volume submitted a report
Companies are in the planning stage, as expected, and, in general, are on track for making capital commitments by early next year 
There is an overwhelming commitment to 15 ppm highway diesel fuel – 

## Progress Toward 2007:15 ppmS Diesel Fuel will be Available

- 15 ppm fuel will be widely available —
- On a volume basis, over 95% of highway diesel fuel produced in 2006 is projected to meet the 15 ppm sulfur standard
- On a facility basis, over 90% of refineries/importers have stated that they plan to produce some 15 ppm diesel fuel
- A large credit volume is expected
- Accommodates off-spec material
- Provides a supply “safety valve”
- Allows for an additional volume of 500 ppm highway diesel fuel without violating the 80/20 TCO requirement

## Progress Toward 2007:Highway Diesel Fuel Supply will be Sufficient

- Refiners/Importers plans are in line with projected demand — highway diesel fuel supply will be sufficient
- 2.9 million bbls/day hwy diesel production for 2006
- In comparison, the FRM projected a hwy diesel fuel consumption of 2.6 million bbls/day for 2006, based on EIA’s AEO 2000
- Refiners appear to be planning for increased growth which is consistent with more recent data — projected fuel consumption using AEO 2003 is around 3 million bbls/day

**Notes:**
While approximately 40% of highway diesel facilities have indicated an intention to decrease highway diesel production in 2006 relative to 2000, more than 60% have indicated an intention to increase highway diesel fuel production.

## Progress Toward 2007:Highway Diesel Fuel Supply will be Sufficient

- While some refineries are planning to decrease highway diesel fuel production, this will be more than offset by those that are planning to increase production

- On a PADD basis, the reports project:
- A slight volume decrease in PADD 1
- Volume increases in PADDs 2, 3,and 5 from 2006-10
- Fairly constant volumes for PADD 4 from 2006-09 with some growth in 2010.

## Progress Toward 2007: Implementation Workshops and pre-Certification Meetings

- Implementation workshops
- A forum for stakeholders to discuss and address implementation issues questions
- Clean Diesel Fuel Workshop held in Nov. 2002
- Today’s Clean Diesel Engine Workshop
- EPA pre-certification engine meetings
- A normal part of new program implementation
- Allows companies to discuss specific questions and product plans with EPA on a one-on-one basis
- We encourage all companies to come and speak with us early regarding any certification concerns
