(National Biodiesel Board/Biodiesel Magazine) … Time is of the essence as OEMs and fleets across the country take a fresh look at the use of low-carbon biodiesel and renewable diesel to help reduce emissions in their new and legacy diesel vehicles and equipment and help to slow the progression of climate change. The heating effect associated with emissions is cumulative, making carbon reductions today significantly more valuable than carbon reductions in the future, ultimately driving conversations about integrated energy management. “Achieving zero emissions from our products is becoming a higher priority for our customers, our communities, and our company,” said Wayne Eckerle, vice president of corporate research and technology for Cummins Inc. while speaking at the 2021 National Biodiesel Conference & Expo this week. “Our mission of ‘powering a more prosperous world’, includes meeting our obligation to use fewer of its resources and will require a mix of energy conversion technologies using diverse carbon neutral and renewable energy sources.”
