The latest innovation in the fuel industry takes advantage of the benefits of two leading renewable fuels — ones many truck stops are familiar with.
Biodiesel is a competitively priced product with a proven track record of providing fleets and individual drivers with strong performance while reducing emissions and petroleum consumption.
Renewable hydrocarbon diesel (RHD) is a newer alternative fuel that also has excellent environmental and performance benefits while being a drop-in replacement for petroleum diesel.
Blending biodiesel and RHD with each other — instead of only with petroleum diesel — results in a product that features the best characteristics of the two fuels. Known as an RHD and biodiesel blend, the product:
- Significantly lowers fleets’ emissions and carbon footprints
- Provides excellent Cetane, lubricity, Cloud Point and aromatics
- Allows companies to stretch their supply of RHD
- Is easy to blend, store and handle
The early reviews have been very positive. Here’s what a California truck stop operator has to say:
“We realize a greater margin on the fuel than petroleum diesel. It also helps us extend our RHD supply.”
You can read that and other first-hand accounts as well as learn more about the fuel and its benefits in the REG white paper, A Winning Combination: Renewable Hydrocarbon Diesel and Biodiesel Blend.
