Renewable Diesel: A Cleaner, Smarter Way to Fuel Your Fleet

Fueling your business isn’t just about keeping vehicles on the road, it’s about making smart, sustainable choices for your business’s growth. Whether you manage delivery trucks, long-haul rigs, service vans, or construction vehicles, the fuel you choose matters more than ever.

That’s why more companies are turning to renewable diesel, a cleaner, high-performance alternative to traditional petroleum diesel.

Unlike biodiesel, which is blended and can cause compatibility issues, renewable diesel (R95, R98, R99) is a drop-in replacement. It’s chemically similar to petroleum diesel but made from renewable sources like vegetable oils, animal fats, and waste materials. That means it works seamlessly with existing diesel engines and infrastructure, no modifications needed.

At Energie Fuel, we offer renewable diesel at select locations across our 65,000+ station network nationwide, giving businesses access to a fuel that delivers both environmental and mechanical benefits.

 

Mechanical Benefits of R95–R99 Renewable Diesel

Fleet operators using high-blend renewable diesel report several performance advantages over traditional diesel:

• Cleaner Combustion: Renewable diesel burns more cleanly, reducing carbon deposits in the engine and fuel system. This leads to less wear and tear on injectors, filters, and exhaust systems.
• Improved Cold Weather Performance: Unlike biodiesel, R95–R99 blends do not introduce oxygen into the fuel, which means fewer cold-weather issues, such as gelling or separation during storage.
• Reduced Regeneration Cycles: Cleaner-burning fuel means less particulate matter, which can reduce the frequency of diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration cycles, saving time and fuel.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: Fleets using R99 have reported fewer service calls and longer intervals between oil changes, thanks to reduced engine residue and cleaner combustion.
• No Engine Modifications Needed: R95–R99 renewable diesel is fully compatible with existing diesel engines and infrastructure, allowing for an immediate transition without added costs.

 

 

Environmental & Operational Advantages

Renewable diesel also reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%, improves air quality, and supports sustainability goals. It’s non-toxic, biodegradable, and meets ASTM D975 standards for diesel fuel.

Whether you’re hauling freight across states or dispatching technicians across town, renewable diesel helps you fuel smarter, without compromising power or performance.

And with Energie Fuel’s transparent pricing, flexible credit options, and zero-fee fuel card program, switching to renewable diesel is easier than ever.
