The concentration of effort to clean up the emissions from vehicular transport sources is admirable but stationary and non transport engines are among the most unclean and certainly the easiest engines to convert to clean bio fuels legislators seem loathe to encourage the manufacturers of these engines to clean up their act. why is this?

My take on this is that legislators don't even consider these engines as being dirty unless they are physically shown and an in depth analysis made on emissions etc. However it is important to note that these engines are always used outside, and need to be light enough to handle and transport. Bio fuelled engines do need converting, but only the diesel powered ones. If you were to convert to Bio Ethanol the problem is that Ethanol mixes easily with water, and petrol doesn’t. So I believe once these issues are resolved a transformation to Bio fuels should be implemented.
