The Trucker News Services had an article on TheTrucker.com on 10/15/2010 that explained the new report that just came out by Hart Energy Consulting, called “Diesel: Fueling the Future of a Green Economy.” The article made it clear that the United States is heading towards creating tighter standards for the diesel fuel market on environmental and fuel standards. The report states:
“Diesel’s unique capability to utilize a range of renewable fuels and blends enhances its desirability under emerging renewable fuel requirements.”
“While there has been a lot of speculation about the role of unproven energy technologies in the emerging green economy, this new analysis clearly highlights that clean diesel will play a vital role in the green economy both today and in the future generations of energy and transportation,” said Allen Schaeffer, the executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum.
“The growth in the diesel market has occurred throughout all regions of the world. Though not all areas have experienced substantial diesel penetration into the passenger vehicle market, growth in diesel demand has outpaced gasoline and other refined products in nearly all developing countries, including China,” the report said. “Diesel fuel is the workhorse of economies throughout the world. As global economies have expanded, so has the demand for diesel-fueled commercial transportation and industrial activities.”
There is no turning back. We are turning green whether we are ready for the change or not. The world has developed using fuel for energy and that will not stop. To save our natural resources, the government is turning to more green options in creating a better fuel. Something we can live with in generations to come.
