Retrieved on:

Tuesday, September 21, 2021

The use of advanced renewable biofuels in diesel engines is growing and is an important opportunity that leverages existing vehicle technology and infrastructure while also delivering meaningful greenhouse gas emissions reductions.

Key Points:

The use of advanced renewable biofuels in diesel engines is growing and is an important opportunity that leverages existing vehicle technology and infrastructure while also delivering meaningful greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
In California in 2019, diesel engines using biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels have reduced five times the greenhouse gas emissions than all electric vehicles in that state combined.
The advanced generation of diesel technology is part of the technologies that will help meet the climate challenge.

Key Points:

The first in the series focuses on powering the future of passenger and freight rail.
Our national attention is focused on strategies to tackle climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions economy-wide.
In the transportation sector, most attention goes to emissions originating from the highway, passenger vehicles and commercial trucks that are the principal sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
But there are considerable innovations and developments in efficiency in other sectors beyond the highway.

b'Washington, DC, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newly-released data from the California Air Resources Board , shows that low carbon transportation fuels powering internal combustion engines deliver the state\xe2\x80\x99s biggest reduction in transportation-related sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

b'Washington, DC, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newly-released data from the California Air Resources Board , shows that low carbon transportation fuels powering internal combustion engines deliver the state\xe2\x80\x99s biggest reduction in transportation-related sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
\xc2\xa0Biodiesel and renewable diesel fuel are the biggest carbon cutting technologies from the transportation sector, edging out ethanol and beating the benefits of electrified cars, trucks and buses by 3:1, according to the Diesel Technology Forum .\n\xe2\x80\x9cWhen it comes to tackling the climate challenge, these new findings underscore the large and significant role that low carbon biobased diesel fuels are playing in California today and should also inform current and future climate and transportation policy considerations at the national and regional levels outside of California.\xc2\xa0 Cumulatively, over the period of 2011-2020, California\xe2\x80\x99s consumption of biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels accounted for 43 percent (over 32 million tons) of all greenhouse gas eliminated from the transportation sector, while battery-electric transportation options accounted for only 13 percent (10 million tons)\xe2\x80\x9d, said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum, a not-for profit association that represents leaders in diesel engines, equipment and fuels.\n\xe2\x80\x9cMeeting the climate challenge will require many solutions.\xc2\xa0 While the promise of zero-emissions technologies is growing, internal combustion engines using biobased diesel fuels have been delivering significant carbon reductions across broad sectors of the economy.\xc2\xa0 The greatest benefits are occurring from the use of these biobased diesel fuels in heavy-duty vehicles, Class 8 trucks, that represent 60 percent of all emissions generated by the fleet of commercial vehicles.\xc2\xa0 With other West Coast states recently adopting low carbon transportation policies, we expect a green corridor from California through British Columbia and biobased diesel fuels will generate impressive climate benefits as they have in California.\n\xe2\x80\x9cThe use of ready-to-go biobased diesel fuel is a proven and cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions now, without acquiring new vehicles or waiting for new supporting fuel infrastructure that may still take many years to reach market availability.\xc2\xa0 All diesel engines, old and new, can operate on blends of biodiesel or 100 percent renewable diesel fuel.\xc2\xa0 These are fuels that are capable of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent and in the case of renewable diesel fuel, emissions may be reduced by upwards of 80 percent, according to research commissioned by the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
\xc2\xa0With a fleet of more than 1 million diesel commercial vehicles on the road in California, there is even greater opportunity for additional short term climate benefits with the uptake of biobased diesel fuel.\xe2\x80\x9d\nAvailability of low carbon biobased diesel fuel is expanding.\xc2\xa0 The California Air Resources Board estimates that biobased diesel fuel has grown from about 16 million gallons in 2011 to nearly 1 billion gallons in 2020.\xc2\xa0 Renewable diesel fuel is one the fastest growing low carbon transportation fuels sold in the state.\xc2\xa0 Interest in renewable diesel fuel as a clean, low cost and low carbon fuel option is attracting the attention of traditional fuel producers like Marathon and Phillips66 that announced investments to retool petroleum refineries to produce renewable diesel fuel.
Energy analysts estimate that announced capacity from these announcements would equate to nearly 3 billion gallons of the fuel produced annually, or about as much petroleum diesel fuel consumed in California in 2019.\nThese are fuels derived from waste feedstocks, including vegetable oils and animal fats to yield very low carbon transportation fuels.\xc2\xa0 After processing vegetables and animals for food, the waste stream that would ordinarily find its way into a landfill is processed into clean low carbon fuels.\xc2\xa0 Fleets do not need to invest in new engines, trucks or equipment or invest in an expensive network of fueling or charging infrastructure.\xc2\xa0 Biobased diesel fuels may be used in the existing fueling infrastructure, and in addition, 100 percent renewable diesel is also pipeline compatible.\n\xe2\x80\x9cRelative to other strategies, today the switch to biobased diesel fuel is a cost-effective solution that allows municipal and private fleets to generate big climate benefits at least cost by using existing assets like fueling infrastructure and diesel engines,\xe2\x80\x9d said Schaeffer.\nThe City of Oakland was an early adopter of renewable diesel fuel as all of the city owned trucks, equipment and emergency generators are now operating on 100 percent renewable diesel fuel to displace 230,000 gallons of petroleum diesel and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent.\nThe City of San Diego is now fueling its fleet of 1,125 heavy-duty vehicles and equipment with renewable diesel fuel to achieve more than 80 percent reduction on greenhouse gas emissions.\n'
