Use of Ultra-Low Sulfate Diesel Escalates Demand

Ultra-low sulfur diesel has become very popular across the automotive industry, thus, increasing its usage by the consumers. ULTD is an extremely clean diesel fuel that is estimated to have 97% lower sulfur than the previous low-sulfur diesel (LSD) type.
