Clean diesel is a partnership between cleaner ultra-low sulfur fuel, state-of-the-art engines and highly efficient emission control equipment to produce dramatically lower emissions.
Clean diesel fuel is highly refined and contains very little sulfur. This clean fuel enables new diesel engines and emission control equipment to operate at peak efficiency to reduce emissions.Innovative new engine technology also plays an important role in clean diesel.Engine manufacturers have incorporated better computer controls that allow for more precise fuel flows. Upgraded turbochargers and improved combustion chamber design also have led to reduced emissions.

Improved emission control equipment, including particulate filters, is the third component of clean diesel. Particulate filters can be used with new engines or they can be installed on older trucks and buses. In both cases, to work properly and avoid clogging, the engines must operate with ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.

adrieldenzel, hi and welcome to the forum

I think it is already generally known that diesel is better for the environment, no?

Still not carbon neutral though... I probably won't buy a gas powered engine again though (new anyway... ), because with the increasing availability of bio-diesel, we will finally have a fuel that is more energy intensive than gasoline (that's why the mpgs are better), and has pretty much all of the same benefits, ... only when paired with carbon neutral production, it makes it perfectly environmentally healthy!

A brave new future awaits!
