  1. PUBLIC WORKSHOPSTATEWIDE DIESEL ENGINE IDLE REDUCTION STANDARD August 23, 2007 Department of Environmental Protection Division of Air Resource Management

  2. ExecutiveOrder07-127 • Establishing Immediate Actions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions within Florida • DEP to develop rules to achieve……… • Adoption of a statewide diesel engine idle reduction standard.

  3. ImpactsofIdling • Wastes fuel • Burns 1 gallon per hour while alternatives like auxiliary power units consume 10% to 20% • Increased emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants

  4. GreenhouseGas(GHG)Impacts • Department of Energy • Based on nationwide numbers (500,000 long haul trucks in review data) • 1 billion gallons for overnight idling • 2 billion gallons for workday idling • EPA Estimates • Emissions from overnight idling alone total 7.6 million tons of CO2 • California Estimates • In 2010, sleeper trucks idling emissions are estimated at 1 million tons of GHG emissions per year.

  5. ExecutiveOrderAllows • Broad Range of Options • Passenger cars and light trucks • Commercial buses • Heavy trucks • Locomotives • Ships at Port

  6. CommonStateIdleReductionRequirements • Target vehicles producing greatest amount of emissions • Commercial heavy duty vehicles typically over 10,000 lbs • Delivery vehicles • Buses • Tractor Trailer • Idle time 5 minutes • Idle time is consistent with EPA’s Model State Idling Law • Provide Exemptions

  7. CommonIdlingExemptionsforHeavy-DutyVehicles • Certain buses • Tractors with sleeper berths in use • Vehicle queuing • Weather or mechanical/safety problems • Maintenance • Power takeoff operations • Emergency or Military operations • ADA requirements

  8. California:MostStringentRequirements • First state to restrict idling in sleeper berth trucks • 14,000 lbs and over • Provisions go into effect January 2008 • Subject to the 5 minute idle limit • New trucks sold in California required to include automatic engine shut down feature

  9. EmergingAreasofIdlingConcern • Locomotives • Switchyards • Worker breaks • Crew changes • Ports • Vessels • Cargo handling equipment • Trucks and vehicles • Harbor Vessels • Rail

  10. IdleReductionOptions • Operational practices • Technology and Infrastructure

  11. OperationalChanges • Turn engine off after a set time • Scheduling and logistics improvements to reduce idle times

  12. TechnologyOptionsIdentifiedByOtherIdleReductionPrograms • Aux power units (APU). • Truck stop electrification • Onboard power systems • Off board power systems • Integrated power systems in new vehicles (battery systems) • Fuel fired heaters • Thermal energy storage systems • Automatic engine shutdown system

  13. Locomotive&ShippingPort Technology • Locomotives • Hybrid electric switchyard engines • Automatic engine shut down system • Shipping Ports • Shore power infrastructure • New technologies (e.g., electric cranes, battery-electric vehicles)

  14. Conclusions • Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicles (HDDV) • Primary focus of most state idle reduction strategies • Locomotives • Not as many regulatory examples • More uncertain technology • High potential for improvement • Shipping Ports • Most programs in developing phase • Complex to regulate

  15. Comments • Scope of regulation • Identification of diesel engines suitable for inclusion • Identification of exemptions • Infrastructure needs • Costs • Technology • Implementation • Emissions data • Avoid negative impacts on overall air quality

  16. Comments(continued) • MailCommentsto: • Ms. Sandy Bowman • Division of Air Resource Management, MS 5510 • Department of Environmental Protection • 2600 Blair Stone Road • Tallahassee, FL 32399-2400 • cc: Ms Lynn Scearce, Rules Coordinator (same Address) • Or e-mail to: sandy.bowman@dep.state.fl.us and lynn.scearce@dep.state.fl.us • All comments are public records and will be posted on the Department’s website.
