Clean air matters in every neighborhood, and communities should not have to wait years for practical solutions.

A new study highlighted by Clean Fuels Alliance America shows that using in heavy-duty vehicles could help the Bronx see immediate and affordable air quality improvements. The study found that switching to biodiesel could reduce diesel particulate emissions by approximately 72%, helping support better health outcomes for families, workers, and communities.

This is why matter. They are available today, they work in existing equipment, and they can make a real difference where cleaner air is needed most.

In light of a recent Columbia University study showing fine particulate matter in the Bronx is rising, Clean Fuels Alliance America is reminding New Yorker

This Earth Day, we’re highlighting solutions that are making an impact today.

Using clean fuels like can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 74% compared to petroleum diesel, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Cleaner air starts with the choices we make today.

When used as a vehicle fuel, biodiesel can offer considerable greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions benefits. Improved emissions performance in today's diesel vehicles are the result of sophisticated engine controls and exhaust aftertreatment devices. All engines must meet the same tailpipe emissions stand...
