What is MCDI?

Together with federal, state and local governments, private companies, and non‐ profit organizations, the Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative (MCDI) is a voluntary program to reduce diesel emissions and diesel fuel usage in the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin).

SLIDE 3

MCDI Steering committee:

Setting the MCDI objectives and carrying them

through the state coalitions

Work with state coalitions to set focus areas
Providing feedback on state coalition best practices

to share across states or areas to improve

Set up small groups to address region wide issues

and communicate them throughout the state coalitions

Track and report projects, emissions reductions and

fuel saving from clean diesel actions.

SLIDE 4

Goals for Coalitions

State Coalitions:

Create networks of clean diesel partners within

each state.

Educate each other and develop educational
pportunities for others.
Develop funding mechanisms for clean diesel

actions.

Communicate opportunities.
Identify interested fleets for clean diesel actions.
Implement clean diesel projects.

EPA Funding

Historic EPA Funding

FY 2003‐2007 National Clean Diesel Campaign

– $32M nationally for school bus projects – $7.6M nationally for non‐school bus projects

FY08 National Clean Diesel Campaign

– $49.2M nationally (combines all sectors)

FY09 ARRA

– $300M nationally (combines all sectors)

FY09 National Clean Diesel Campaign

– $60M nationally (combines all sectors)

FY2010 National Clean Diesel Campaign

– $60M (combines all sectors)

SLIDE 8

Grants:

DERA (Energy Policy Act of 2005) allowed for

up to $200 million/year nationally; appropriated at $50M/$60M per year since 2008

Reauthorized by congress for 2012‐2016

(DERA 2)

EPA Funding for States

State allocations

– Given each year, State can match – RFP’s, loan programs,

ther

activities

SLIDE 10

Non‐EPA sources of Funding

CMAQ and DOE funds
State funds
SEPs
Other sustainable activities

– Policies – Advocacy

DERA 2

Congress reauthorized for 2012‐2016
Budget remains unknown
Changes from DERA 1 to 2:

– State Allocations can only fund verified /certified – States that have not drawn down DERA 1 – DERA 2 funding will not be released – Reporting changes – Changes to EPA competitive

SLIDE 14

Verified technologies

– Tested to determine efficacy and useful life – In combination with EPA’s Diesel Emission Quantifier, allows grantees to easily estimate emission reductions – Emerging Tech program to put new technologies

n the list

– CARB verified technology list

SLIDE 15

Changes to competitive

– Potential rebate programs – Potential centralization of EPA competitive applications – Still take into account non‐attainment and EJ areas

SLIDE 16

New NAAQS effects

Areas redesignated non‐attainment
Areas to be designated under 2008 ozone

standard

NOTE: Underlined dates indicate court-ordered or settlement agreement deadlines Next Ozone Review: Proposal in June 2013 and Final in March 2014

SLIDE 17

Current Non‐Attainment Areas

No Michigan counties non‐attainment for

1997 8‐hour ozone standard

Detroit Area still non‐attainment for 2006 24‐

hr PM2.5 standard

Designations Based on 2006-2008 Air Quality Data
