Importance Of Clean Diesel Technology To Reduce Greenhouse Gases Highlighted At Global Climate And Clean Air Event In SwedenEffectiveness and Advancements in New Diesel Technology To Play Essential Role in International Efforts to Reduce Emissions Washington, DC /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The international importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions with the use of clean diesel technology was highlighted by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a special event hosted by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition in Stockholm, Sweden on June 3. This follows other recent international forums like the G-8 Summit and Bonn Climate Change Conference where the goal of reducing emissions is garnering attention at the highest policy levels in the U.S. and international stage. Secretary Clinton stated that "we know we cannot solve this crisis without the active cooperation and, indeed, the leadership of the private sector, particularly oil and gas companies, makers of diesel trucks, green tech companies that can help turn methane from landfills into clean energy." Because more than 90 percent of all global trade and an increasing number of automobiles are powered by diesel engines, advancements in clean diesel technology are gaining international attention, according to Allen Schaeffer, Executive Director of the Diesel Technology Forum. "Secretary Clinton recognizes the leadership of the makers of diesel trucks and the private sector in her call for an international cooperative effort to reduce climate pollutants," Schaeffer said. "The U.S. diesel engine manufacturers are continuing to build on their decades of research and progressive technological improvements which have resulted in new diesel engines that are near zero in emissions. "Because of the unique combination of power, performance, energy efficiency, reliability and low-emissions, diesel engines are the undisputed workhorse of the global economy, powering 16 "super-sectors" including agriculture, construction, goods movement, mining and industrial applications, among others. The global economic importance of diesel technology is matched only by its advancements in reducing emissions and reducing fuel consumption. "As international leaders and coalitions seek consensus on actions to improve air quality and impact climate change in the near term, increased attention is being focused on existing and proven technologies like clean diesel that is fuel efficient and has near zero emissions."
