The push to reduce the carbon intensity of fleets and fuels used is growing. A variety of alternative fuel and vehicle techlogy options are available for diesel fleets, each with its own benefits and considerations. While electric vehicles are dominating the headlines, biodiesel is a low-carbon, liquid fuel option that allows heavy-duty diesel fleets to reduce operating costs, significantly reduce carbon emissions, and meet long-term sustainability targets in a cost-effective way, today. This session provides an in-depth dive into biodiesel—its characteristics, benefits, cold weather operability, and common questions and misconceptions. Then, you’ll learn how B100 (100% biodiesel) can perform throughout the year (yes, even in winter) thanks to an advanced fuel system upgrade that integrates into existing engines without significant modifications, or into new vehicles for factory-fit installation. A wide range of medium to heavy-duty fleets across the country in a variety of applications have successfully implemented this techlogy. Learn more and hear how the City of Ames, Iowa, has incorporated B100 into their fleet of swplows, helping them to significantly reduce their carbon emissions, while keeping the power and performance of their diesel vehicles. Renewable diesel is ather upcoming fuel. The session will provide an introduction to renewable diesel and its growing role in the fuel market.

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be better able to:

• Recognize the role of biodiesel in today’s diesel fuel market and understand its characteristics, operability, and benefits.
• Assess the benefits and considerations of biodiesel as a fuel option for diesel fleets that can be used to reduce fossil fuel consumption and meet sustainability and carbon reduction goals.
• Evaluate the opportunity for incorporating B100 into their diesel fleet to meet sustainability and carbon reduction goals.
