Renewable Fuel Solutions for Railroads

The rail industry continues to advance lower carbon targets to reduce carbon emissions using bio-based diesel in locomotives.

Looking to 2030 and beyond, reducing fossil carbon emissions associated with rail transportation will continue to require fuel-efficient technologies, the greater use of lower carbon fuels and designing innovative lower emission supply chain solutions through investments and collaboration.

Chevron Renewable Energy Group's renewable fuel solutions can help railroads significantly reduce carbon emissions and work toward lower carbon targets, while offering engine performance benefits and reliable supply — all without any major infrastructure changes, making it a low-cost transition.

Why bio-based diesel from Chevron Renewable Energy Group?

Simple, Lower Carbon Solution

Can reduce engine fossil carbon emissions by up to 100% compared to conventional diesel¹
May be 56% more effective in reducing carbon than electric, when taking the grid into consideration²
May be a low cost option for reducing your carbon intensity
Use as a drop-in fuel or as a blend with traditional fuels

1: Product is produced from renewable oils and fats. Methanol used to make biodiesel and hydrogen used to make renewable diesel and SAF are typically made from conventional natural gas, but can be produced from renewable resources

2: Carbon intensity for EVs based on eGRID 2020 figures and EV EER of 3.8 for transit buses per National Renewable Energy Laboratory

Improved Performance and Excellent Quality

Enhanced lubricity may help engines run smoother, cooler and quieter
Lower particulate matter may help reduce DPF clogging and regenerations
May assist in reducing engine maintenance costs and increased longevity
Stringent standards that exceed ASTM, CEN and CGSB quality requirements
A safer fuel than petroleum diesel in terms of combustibility and impact to the environment in the event of spillage³

Case Study -- CN

Canada’s largest railway, CN, has set bold objectives around sustainability to reach a goal of 43% reduction in carbon emission intensity by 2030 compared to a 2019 baseline — as well as committing to setting a 2050 net zero target.

Case Study -- Union Pacific

A single Union Pacific Railroad train can move one ton of freight more than 450 miles on just one gallon of diesel fuel, making its trains four times more efficient than trucks. In fact, one UP train can carry as much freight as 300 trucks. But UP is determined to do better.

Trusted and Proven Supply Partner

Production, supply, terminal infrastructure and truck assets to be your transition partner
International and domestic production footprint helps mitigate geopolitical risks of supply
9 active biorefineries including our renewable diesel production facility
Feedstock flexibility provides added assurance of supply
Giving customers online access to information regarding their accounts and deliveries, including invoices, BOLs and volumes with our proprietary fuel dashboard

From Our Customers

“The transition to 100% renewable fuel levels has been seamless for CN and its customers since initial testing began. Prior concerns about cold-weather operations have not been experienced so far, with trains running at full capacity with no issues. What’s most important is that we made this adjustment without any impact to our operations or to our customers. They don’t see any difference in the service that we offer.”

-Francois Belanger, Carbon Transition Director, CN
