Clean Diesel Power: Ready for Tomorrow, Working Today (http://dieseltechnologyforum.cmail1.com/t/y/l/ulthdu/tjhhgkru/t)
Amidst over 20 exhibits, vehicles and engine displays, Washington, DC was transformed into the Clean Diesel Power Capitol. Policymakers and industry leaders gathered to highlight the broad importance of clean diesel technology that is working today powering key sectors of the economy. The event highlighted clean diesel power’s importance and readiness to meet future climate and energy challenges.
The Honorable Gina McCarthy, Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency delivered keynote remarks praising the industry’s march to clean diesel as a success story. “Now we are talking today about technologies that ten years ago we wouldn't have thought possible. Today represents all that's best in the United States. It represents investment in public health. It represents innovation. It represents Green jobs.

Climate Change, Black Carbon & Clean Diesel (http://dieseltechnologyforum.cmail1.com/t/y/l/ulthdu/tjhhgkru/d)

Over the last few years there has been growing attention to black carbon and its potential impact on global warming. Diesel vehicles are one of many sources of black carbon emissions; however thanks to recent changes in domestic fuel composition along with advances in engine design and emissions control technology, black carbon emissions have been virtually eliminated from new diesel vehicles and equipment in the U.S. These changes brought a 99 percent reduction in black carbon emissions from heavy duty diesel vehicles just since 2004. The Diesel Technology Forum takes a closer look at "Climate Change, Black Carbon & Clean Diesel (http://dieseltechnologyforum.cmail1.com/t/y/l/ulthdu/tjhhgkru/h)."

EPA Sends Congress Report Detailing DERA FY08 Successes (http://dieseltechnologyforum.cmail1.com/t/y/l/ulthdu/tjhhgkru/n)
This week EPA sent Congress its report, “Highlights of the Diesel Emissions Reduction Program” detailing the outcome of projects undertaken with grant funds provided to the program in FY08. Thanks to the $49.2 million appropriated to the Diesel Emissions Reduction Program that year, EPA was able to award 119 grants benefitting more than 14,000 vehicles and pieces of equipment. This translates into reductions of approximately 46,000 tons of NOx, 2,200 tons of PM and a savings of 3.2 million gallons of diesel fuel each year. A copy of the reports is available here (http://dieseltechnologyforum.cmail1.com/t/y/l/ulthdu/tjhhgkru/p).
