What are the advantages of renewable diesel?

• Renewable diesel is chemically equivalent to conventional diesel and can be shipped via conventional pipeline along with other fuels.

• Renewable diesel has a higher cetane value (cetane is the equivalent concept of octane for gasoline).

What are the environmental benefits of the project?

• The process is CO² neutral. 

• Renewable diesel is cleaner burning than conventional diesel.

• Renewable diesel will produce less nitrous oxide and have lower sulfur content.

Is there an MPG advantage to using renewable diesel over conventional or biodiesel?

• Renewable diesel is approximately equal in energy content to conventional diesel so fuel efficiency will be about the same.

What is the difference between biodiesel and renewable diesel?

• Although renewable diesel and biodiesel use similar feedstocks such as animal fats and vegetable oils, renewable diesel has a different processing method which creates a chemically different product.

Where will the finished renewable diesel be sold?

• The finished product will flow through the existing U.S. diesel fuel distribution system. One of the strong benefits of renewable diesel is that existing infrastructure can be used.

• The renewable diesel will be part of the on-road diesel supply and will likely be sold in many parts of  the U.S.
