Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Zero Net CO2 Emissions ULSD does not reduce carbon dioxide emissions.• ULSD allows manufacturers to apply to diesel vehicles technologies to control the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) that the presence of too much sulfur would not otherwise permit. Together, ULSD and the technologies are called Clean Diesel.
