Abstract

This chapter introduces the fourth and final part of the book, discussing the past and future of the diesel technology. Besides the historic development of diesel-fueled motors, its different status in markets such as the European and the American ones is also approached. Likewise, the environmental performance of diverse concurrent energy sources is critically analyzed. Included in this group are alternatives such as natural gas, shale gas, and electric cars. The latter is specifically highlighted, with several problems linked to its production, use, and discard of electric batteries being broached in further detail. In addition, the environmental impacts of the different forms of energy generation are examined (e.g. wind, solar, hydroelectric). The joint analysis of the reputational damage suffered by diesel throughout decades and the notation of the environmental fragilities of the diverse alternatives for its use corroborate the verdict on the future of the diesel technology.
