WHAT IS RENEWABLE DIESEL
Renewable diesel, often referred to as HDRD (hydrogenated-derived renewable diesel), HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) or HEFA (hydrotreated esters and fatty acids) is a drop-in ready fuel and can be used in diesel engines. HDRD is a renewable energy source that can be used in exchange for traditional diesel to lower greenhouse gas emissions on a lifecycle basis. It is produced from organic matter or biomass such as corn, canola, soybean, or recycled feedstocks and processed through hydrogenation (treated with hydrogen), making it chemically identical to traditional diesel. The product is often blended with traditional fossil diesel and offered unblended.
BENEFITS OF RENEWABLE DIESEL
-
Does not require blending -
No change to engine or additional preventative maintenance required -
Almost no aromatics or sulphur -
Bio-genic C02 portion exempt from Scope 1 emissions (as per GHG Protocol) -
Wide range of cloud points possible up to -20 degrees Celsius (no seasonal restrictions) -
Products meet Canadian fuel standards (CGSB 3.517) and American fuel standards (ASTM D975)
Renewable Diesel (HDRD) offers lower CO2 lifecycle emissions compared to traditional diesel.

*Disclaimer: Lifecycle GHG emissions refer to the emissions that occur during each stage of the fuel’s lifecycle, including but not limited to the production, transportation and end-use of the fuel. Any emissions values referenced are based on carbon intensity (gCO2e/MJ) figures provided by 4Refuel Suppliers for each low carbon fuel type and are subject to change. The GHG emissions reductions are calculated by comparing the Carbon Intensity of the lower carbon fuels blends sold to the baseline Carbon Intensity of conventional diesel of 93 gCO2 e/MJ (as published in Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations).
