ULSD – Cleaner Energy Source for Your Vehicle
With the more pollution contaminating our environment (air, water, soil) and the growing concerns about global warming, governments from all over the world have taken great care to implement the use of cleaner energy sources. For example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has successfully compiled a group of regulatory and non-regulatory standards for reducing emissions from diesel engines. The new standard of clean diesel fuel adopted by the EPA is ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD). ULSD is a diesel fuel with a sulfur level that is at or below 15 parts per million (ppm) for use in highway diesel engines. Compared to low sulfur diesel fuel (LSD) which is have up to 500 ppm sulfur content, ULSD is certainly a cleaner burning diesel fuel.
Not only in the United States, ULSD has also been applied in various countries around the world. Even on the islands of Micronesia, effective from January 1st, 2011, all diesel fuels sold on this region must meet ULSD quality. As a response to this rule, some investors have invested to build the required infrastructure in order to provide a clean diesel fuel. No exception in Guam and Palau. Although relatively small country, it is not difficult to find a service station in Guam and Palau which provides ULSD. In fact, you can find an assortment of service station promotions Palau that offer a variety of attractive promotions, in addition to ULSD as their main product, of course. The promotions are usually intended as a customer rewards program, such as cash back, free gas, and discounts. Read the rest of this entry »
