  3. Execute Contract to Cosponsor Study on Opportunities and Benefits of Deploying Next Generation Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Vehicles Operating on Renewable Natural Gas

  Matt Miyasato

  (909) 396-3249
  A leading natural gas engine manufacturer is targeting mid-2016 to commercialize the first natural gas engine achieving 90% lower NOx emissions than the current emissions standard. In addition, renewable natural gas (RNG) is currently being produced in large volume for use as a transportation fuel. While the benefits of significantly cleaner combustion engines and the use of renewable fuels have been individually studied, there has been no comprehensive assessment focused specifically on the air quality benefits of having significantly lower NOx combustion engines operating on renewable fuels or the market potential for such deployment. This action is to execute a contract with Gladstein, Neandross & Associates to conduct such a study in an amount not to exceed $100,000, comprised of $50,000 from the Clean Fuels Fund (31) and $50,000 from the Natural Gas Vehicle Partnership Fund (40).

  The Board previously awarded contracts to Cummins Westport Inc. (CWI) and Cummins Inc. to develop next generation ultra-low-emission heavy-duty natural gas engines that are 90% cleaner than the current NOx emission standard. As a follow-on to this development project and given market demand for natural gas engines in the 11- to 13-liter range, the CEC, Southern California Gas Company and Clean Energy have expressed interest in cofunding the advancement of the current 11.9-liter natural gas engine to achieve ultra-low NOx emissions. These actions are to recognize revenues up to $2.5 million and execute a contract with CWI for development, integration and demonstration of an 11.9-liter ultra-low-emission natural gas engine in an amount not to exceed $4.25 million from the Clean Fuels Fund (31).

  38. Request to City of Diamond Bar to Provide Alternative Fuel Signage on City Streets

  Matt Miyasato

  (909) 396-3249
  At the direction of the Board, staff initiated discussions with Gateway Corporation, the City of Diamond Bar (City) and Caltrans to place signs along the freeways and arterial roads surrounding SCAQMD Headquarters to direct drivers and fleet operators to the SCAQMD’s CNG, hydrogen and electric charging stations.  The City has an ordinance for off-site billboard signage that does not allow the typical signage for alternative fuel stations as used by Caltrans or other municipalities.  The City staff requested that SCAQMD make a formal request to the City to consider alternatives under the existing ordinance or to amend its current sign ordinance, given the benefits of alternative fuel vehicles to the environment and the residents of the City.  This action is to approve a letter from the Chairman to the City requesting the City’s consideration of SCAQMD’s proposal to install directional signage for the SCAQMD alternative fuel stations.
