In-Use Stationary Diesel Agricultural Engines
This page last reviewed July 8, 2008
California's Diesel Risk Reduction Plan
Stationary diesel engines used in agricultural production are a source of
diesel exhaust particulate matter (diesel PM), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and reactive organic gases (ROG) in California.
These engines are typically used to pump water, provide power, and run wind machines. The Air Resources Board (ARB)
is working with the agricultural community, air districts, environmental and citizen groups, and the public to
develop a control measure to reduce the emissions and health risks associated with in-use stationary agricultural
engine diesel exhaust. New and newly-purchased used stationary diesel agricultural engines are currently regulated
under the ATCM for Stationary
Compression Ignition Engines.
In addition, California's local
air districts are also developing regulations to reduce NOx emissions
from stationary diesel agricultural engines. These regulations are required by Senate Bill (SB) 700 (Florez, 2003).
Financial assistance and incentive funding is available for replacing/retrofitting in-use stationary diesel agricultural
engines. For more information, see factsheet.
Special Alert: Application windows for PG&E's and SCE's Agricultural
Internal Combustion Engine Conversion Incentive Programs are scheduled to close July 31, 2007. For more information
about these programs, see PG&E or SCE.
Please consult with your local air district prior to making
any equipment purchase.
