Incentives for Early Fuel Distribution to Ease Clean Diesel Transition.

This article reports on the enhanced incentive program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for petroleum refiners. Under the program, refiners have an added incentive to produce and distribute ultra-low sulfur highway diesel fuel earlier than required. Ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel is necessary to reduce harmful diesel emissions because it allows a new generation of engines to run more than 90-percent cleaner than today's diesels.
