\nIndustry leaders Neste, Renewable Energy Group and the National Biodiesel Board to explore the role of renewable biofuels in helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions
\n<\/h2>\n

Washington, DC, April 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Diesel Technology Forum<\/a> today announced an upcoming event, that will explore how biobased diesel fuels are a ready solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and tackling climate change. \u00a0The virtual session<\/a> will be held Tuesday, April 13, 2021 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm ET.<\/p>\n

As policymakers move to tackle the climate change challenge on a local, regional and national level, a mix of near-term and longer-term strategies for the transportation sector are emerging. \u00a0While all-electric and zero emissions strategies seem to dominate the headlines, it is increasingly clear that they may not be available or suitable for all sectors in the immediate future.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The use for biobased diesel fuel in diesel vehicles and equipment is an effective greenhouse gas mitigation strategy that every public and private fleet should have access to right alongside other solutions. \u00a0The nature of tackling the climate challenge \u2013 its urgency and complexity dictate that there is not a one-size-fits-all solution.<\/p>\n

This free online event<\/a> will provide a timely update and fresh perspectives on the state of policy, technology and user experiences with renewable biofuels including biodiesel and renewable diesel fuel.<\/p>\n

While the potential for an all-electric passenger vehicle fleet gains ground, heavy-duty commercial vehicles and equipment, the vastly different nature of the market\u2019s duty cycle and operating needs pose much more complex challenges for alternatives to diesel. \u00a0Because diesel is the prime mover of key sectors of the economy, the use of low carbon fuels can be a game changer for reducing emissions from the hard-to-decarbonize transportation and equipment sectors for both new and existing vehicles and equipment.<\/p>\n

Investments in renewable diesel and biodiesel production are expanding rapidly both from conventional biofuel producers as well as the existing petroleum refining sector, signaling a strategy of greater access to low carbon fuels nationwide that will enable more governments and private fleets viable options to meet the near-term climate challenge head-on.<\/p>\n
