REG Renewable Diesel — Petroleum Diesel's Cleaner Alternative
Renewable diesel is an advanced biofuel that is made from the same renewable resources as biodiesel but using a process that involves heat, pressure and hydrogen to create a cleaner fuel that's chemically identical to petroleum diesel. That similarity means 100 percent renewable diesel can be used in most diesel engines without modifications. It also blends easily with both traditional diesel and biodiesel. Because it's made with plant and animal fats, renewable diesel offers greatly reduced emissions and improved performance compared to petroleum diesel.
Features and Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
| 100% hydrocarbon renewable fuel | Virtually identical chemically and physically to petroleum diesel yet delivers enhanced emission, performance and sustainability benefits of biofuel. |
| Easy to use | Can be used in existing diesel engines without modification in concentrations of up to 100% and requires no changes to shipping, handling and storing practices. |
| Easy blending with petroleum diesel or biodiesel | Can be blended at varying concentrations based on economics or other factors. Blends with biodiesel to create a 100% renewable, low-emission, high-performance fuel. |
| Increased Cetane | Higher Cetane indicates quicker and more complete ignition of the fuel, which improves efficiency, reduces emissions and allows for easier starting and smoother running. |
| Lower carbon intensity score | Because renewable diesel can be produced from a wide array of organic feedstocks, its lower carbon intensity score can help meet regulatory requirements. |
| Reduced emissions | Compared to ULSD, renewable diesel reduces total hydrocarbons by more than 10 percent, particulate matter by nearly 40 percent, carbon monoxide by 25 percent and nitrogen oxides by 15 percent.* |
