“We should all embrace innovation and opportunity in every form and at the same time not lose sight of technologies that deliver climate progress today on a wide scale,” said executive director of The Diesel Technology Forum, Allen Schaeffer.
“Making progress on global climate commitments requires a mix of proven and existing technologies, working alongside new technologies. Among these must be the new generation of diesel power,” added Schaeffer.
Diesel powers one out of every two sectors in the global economy. At work on the streets, on jobsites, and in farm fields, mines and beyond, greenhouse gas emissions reductions are not a prospective goal but are a daily reality, driven by the increased use of more advanced diesel engines, vehicles and equipment around the globe.
While technology demonstrations or small-scale releases of alternate technologies may take place, in many sectors no other fuel or technology options are expected to be commercially available on a wide scale nor be able to deliver the unique combination of benefits that diesel possesses for the foreseeable future.
The continuous improvement in efficiency and performance in the newest generation of diesel engine – when deployed in conjunction with ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel – offered a proven, cost-effective, energy-efficiency and near-zero-emission power choice.
New renewable diesel and biodiesel fuel options – drop-in replacements for conventional fossil-based diesel – mean that the newest diesel technologies can cut greenhouse gasses and other emissions even further.
“We encourage world leaders to consider policies to encourage the greater adoption of the latest clean diesel technologies out on the road, in the fields and on jobsites so as to accelerate progress today,” said Schaeffer in a statement.
The Diesel Technology Forum is a non-profit organisation dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of Diesel engines, fuel and technology. More details on http://www.dieselforum.org.
