The Engine Technology Forum has launched a new online resource center dedicated to selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The advocacy group said the new resource center will provide a centralized source of technical, policy, and educational information on emissions-control technologies used in modern diesel engines.
The SCR & DEF Policy and Technical Resource Center compiles fact sheets, webinars, expert commentary, policy analysis, and media coverage on diesel exhaust aftertreatment systems. Its goal is to help fleet operators, equipment owners, regulators, and the public better understand how the technologies work and why they remain central to reducing diesel emissions.
Addressing Questions About Emissions Systems
” As discussions around emissions, regulations, and technology continue to evolve, there is a growing need for accurate, technology-based information,” said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Engine Technology Forum. “This new Resource Center serves as a one-stop destination for policymakers, fleet operators, equipment owners, and the public to better understand how SCR and DEF systems work, why they matter, and how they support environmental and economic goals.”
The launch comes as emissions-control systems continue to attract scrutiny from regulators, policymakers, and some vehicle owners.
EPA Targets Diesel Derate Sensors
According to ETF, increasing questions about system operation, maintenance requirements, compliance obligations, and emissions-system tampering have highlighted the need for more accessible technical information.
The new resource center includes information designed to explain SCR and DEF operation, summarize Environmental Protection Agency guidance, address common misconceptions about emissions controls, and examine the role of advanced diesel technology in industries ranging from trucking and construction to agriculture and power generation.
