What is green fuel and what will it do for the future of America?
The rule provides for clean air standards comparable to those that EPA has adopted for large diesel trucks and buses, and for construction, mining and agricultural equipment. The standards will be achieved through the combination of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel and advanced engine systems. The new rule is stronger than the proposed rule because it accelerates the implementation deadline for locomotive diesel engines by two years from 2017 to 2015, accelerates the implementation deadline for the largest marine engines covered by the rule from 2016 to 2014, and requires marine engines to meet a more protective standard when they are rebuilt.
