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 and can be used in diesel engines. HDRD is a renewable energy source that can be used in exchange of traditional diesel to reduce greenhouse gasses and carbon emissions. It is produced using organic matter or biomass such as corn, sugar, vegetable oils or waste feedstocks and processed by hydrogenation (treated with hydrogen) making it chemically identical to traditional diesel. The product is often blended with traditional diesel and offered in blends of R-30, R-50, or R-100 (unblended). Renewable diesel has CO2 emissions reductions from 24-85% compared to traditional diesel, depending on its blend.

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)

HDRD (R50) offers a CO2 emissions reduction (wheel to well) of approximately 38% when compared to traditional diesel, helping you reduce your greenhouse gas emissions.
