Diesel engines burn……, besides emitting….
Diesel engines burn……., in addition to emitting….

Nikita and Sandeep,
The construction for as well as is as follows
verb + as well as + verbing
If in doubt reverse the order in option A.
“As well as emitting far less carbon dioxide gas and far fewer of the other gasses that have been implicated in global warming, diesel engines burn as much as 30% less fuel than gasoline engines of comparable size” – Makes sense when read this way
