diesel and propane in its three - year - old, first - in - the - nation program that requires companies to buy carbon permits to cover their
emissions of greenhouse gases.
Then again, to the extent that natural gas substitutes for coal in electricity generation (
and fugitive methane
emissions are low)
and electric vehicles powered by relatively clean electricity substitute for
gasoline and diesel, CO2
emissions over the next two decades could be far less than expected 10 years ago.
This study focuses on current specifications, with comparisons to international norms, of
gasoline,
diesel and fuel oil; on measures adopted for improving the quality of such fuels
and for reducing
emissions, particularly the elimination of lead from
gasoline,
and the reduction of sulphur in
gasoline and diesel; on expected economic
and environmental benefits of using cleaner fossil fuels;
and on barriers facing the production
and use of cleaner fuels.
Although
diesel vehicles offer lower carbon dioxide
emissions and higher gas mileage than
gasoline vehicles, some expert scientists, like Stanford University Mark Jacobson, have argued that controlling
diesel emissions could be the fastest
and «most effective» way to slow climate change.
For instance, in 2002, many European countries were meeting their Kyoto Protocol obligations by switching from
gasoline to
diesel vehicles, which can offer better mileage
and lower carbon dioxide
emissions.
