IIR Industry Alert: Texas Governor Looks to E-Diesel to Improve Houston Area Air Quality

    HOUSTON--June 10, 2002--Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources Inc.; Houston). Governor Rick Perry announced that he is instructing the Texas Department of Transportation to immediately begin using cleaner diesel fuel in fleets and equipment located in the Houston Area. The U.S. transportation sector is responsible for one-third of our country's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and to help improve air quality across the country, governments are looking to alternative fuels such as Emulsified Diesel (E-Diesel) to help clean up the air. Jay Brunson, synthetic fuels manager for Industrialinfo.com, adds, "Using E-Diesel and biodiesel in transportation equipment like school buses can help reduce health risks such as respiratory problems in our kids, who are sometimes riding on buses for long periods of time every school day."
