Diesel’s Role In Superstorm Sandy

Recovery

Diesel: The Lifeblood of the Recovery Effort (Data Center Knowledge, October 31, 2012)

“Much of the Internet is currently running on diesel fuel and priority service contracts. Emergency backup generators powered by diesel are helping many East Coast data center providers weather Superstorm Sandy.

The importance of diesel in the post-Sandy economy is hard to overstate. In the wake of Sandy, diesel is the lifeblood of lower Manhattan, where

generators are currently providing virtually all the area’s electricity.

New Jersey gets diesel waiver to avoid shortfall after Sandy (Reuters, October 31, 2012)

The Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday granted New Jersey a temporary waiver on Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) requirements to help counter a shortfall in fuel supplies in parts of the state following Hurricane Sandy.

The EPA determined that an "extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstance“ that would limit supplies of ULSD that can be used in mobile nonroad generators

and pumps used for emergencies.
