D2-Diesel
Description
Diesel fuel is produced from petroleum and from various other sources. The resulting products are interchangeable in most applications. As of 2007, almost every diesel fuel available in America and Europe is the ULSD type. Reduction of sulfur emissions In the past, diesel fuel contained higher quantities of sulfur.
European emission standards and preferential taxation have forced oil refineries to dramatically reduce the level of sulfur in diesel fuels. In the United States, more stringent emission standards have been adopted with the transition to ULSD starting in 2006 and becoming mandatory on June 1, 2010 (see also diesel exhaust). U.S. diesel fuel typically also has a lower cetane number (a measure of ignition quality) than European diesel, resulting in worse cold weather performance and some increase in emissions.
