Engine Technology Forum Launches SCR & DEF Resource Center to Clarify Emissions Tech
Event summary
- Engine Technology Forum (ETF) launched an SCR & DEF Policy and Technical Resource Center on June 15, 2026.
- The hub consolidates fact sheets, webinars, policy insights, and media coverage on emissions-reduction technologies.
- SCR and DEF systems have been widely adopted for over a decade to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in diesel engines.
- The resource center aims to address growing interest and misconceptions about emissions controls and regulatory compliance.
The big picture
The launch of the SCR & DEF Resource Center comes amid heightened scrutiny of vehicle emissions and emissions-control technologies. As industries increasingly rely on heavy-duty equipment and transportation, the need for accurate, technology-based information becomes critical. The resource center underscores the role of modern diesel technologies in supporting both environmental progress and economic activity, reinforcing diesel’s continued role in a lower-emissions future.
What we're watching
- Regulatory Compliance
- How the EPA's guidance and policy considerations will shape the adoption and maintenance of SCR and DEF systems.
- Industry Adoption
- The pace at which transportation, agriculture, construction, and power generation sectors integrate these technologies.
- Technical Education
- Whether the resource center can effectively dispel misconceptions and foster informed decision-making among stakeholders.
