What does TERP do?

The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) program provides financial incentives to upgrade or replace older heavy-duty vehicles, non-road equipment, locomotives, marine vessels, and stationary equipment to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions in eligible areas. The TERP also supports programs to encourage the use

  • f alternative fuels for transportation in Texas.
slide-3
SLIDE 3

Air Quality Division • December 2015 • Page 3

Primary Goal is to Reduce NOX

TERP provides financial incentives for projects that reduce NOX emissions in eligible areas. NOX emissions combine with volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the presence of sunlight to form ground level

  • zone (smog).

NOX + VOC + Ozone

TERP and the Ozone Standards

  • TERP grant programs are a strategy in the

State Implementation Plan (SIP).

  • TERP emissions reductions have recently been

used as weight of evidence in the Attainment Demonstration SIP.

  • TERP is also intended to help air quality

planning areas remain in attainment.

Emissions Reduction Incentive Grants Program (ERIG)

A competitive grant program that provides incentives to upgrade or replace older heavy-duty vehicles, non-road equipment, locomotives, marine vessels, and stationary equipment Eligible replacement vehicles and equipment include:

  • Diesel Engines;
  • Alternative Fuel Vehicles and Equipment;
  • Hybrid Vehicles and Equipment;
  • Idle Reduction Infrastructure; and
  • Refueling Infrastructure.

Rebate Grants Program

Limited to replacement or repower of heavy-duty

  • n-road diesel vehicles and select non-road

equipment

  • Faster, simpler process for projects consistent with

the ERIG requirements

  • First-come, first-served
  • On-road diesel vehicles may be replaced with diesel,

natural gas, propane, or electric powered vehicles

Note - The grant amounts and tons of NOX reduced are apportioned among all areas where a grantee has indicated that a grant- funded vehicle or equipment will be operated for an estimated percentage of its annual use, while the number of projects and activities are listed according to the primary area of use designated for each project and activity. The number of projects and activities in the Victoria area are listed as zero because none of the projects have Victoria County as a primary area of use, even though there are grant funding and NOx reductions apportioned to that area.
