NGV Standards & Regulatory Update January 2013 (Working Party On Gas)

This document summarizes Dr. Jeffrey Seisler's presentation on NGV standards and regulations to the Working Party on Gas at the United Nations in Geneva on January 22, 2013. It discusses the UN structure for developing NGV regulations through committees like GRPE and GRSG. It provides updates on regulatory progress for heavy duty dual-fuel engines and LNG vehicles. It also discusses the development of industry standards through organizations like ISO and CEN regarding areas like fueling stations and gas quality. Finally, it notes the need for a strategy to create regulatory structures for new applications of NGVs in areas like marine, rail, and assessing gaps to develop reasonable timelines.

Heavy Duty Dual-Fuel Task Force: regulatory amendments are making steady progress & will open markets for D-F NGVs
R.49 rev 6 (Euro VI) (approved 2012) R.85 (net power) (approved 2012) R.49 rev 5 (Euro V) (formal document for consideration by GRPE: June 2013) Retrofits: regulatory pathway under discussion (amend R.115 or create new regulation?)

LNG Task Force: Regulations for Heavy Duty Dual-Fuel engines lead to creation of LNG vehicle regulations
Amendments to R.110 submitted to GRSG for consideration April 2013 Without these amendments D-F vehicles running on LNG will have to rely on national approvals. Member states looking for regulatory guidance from UNECE.

The industry needs to create a strategy to create regulatory structures for new markets
Marine applications: inland shipping & high seas transit: fuel handling & storage; on-board vessel components; rules of transit (i.e. inland operation) Railways: fuelling; fuel storage in transit; vehicle components; etc. Whats needed?
