Biogenic Fuels

Biogenic Fuels: The Environmental and Energy Independence Case

Made from recycled cooking oil, agricultural byproducts and waste animal fats, biogenic fuels are clean, renewable and, typically, domestically produced. They’ve been called out as a financially viable and immediate method to decarbonize by manufacturers such as Volvo and Cummins, major fleets, and trucking trade associations, including the American Trucking Association. *

According to Scope Carbon Accounting and the Local Government Operations Protocol, the biogenic fuel used most often by Optimus, B100, reduces carbon by 100% compared to diesel – and results in 2.5 times less CO2 than an Electric Vehicle. **

Benefits:

  • Reduces carbon dioxide to near zero
  • Cuts particulate matter in half compared to traditional diesel
  • Meets engine certification requirements for NOx emissions

Biogenic Fuels: The Business Case

A safe, dependable, and affordable source of power, biogenic fuels afford fleets an immediate solution that can be profitably integrated into their existing business model. Further, our documented on-road success proves that B-100 reliably performs in all weather and operating conditions when used with the Optimus upgrade.

Benefits:

  • Doesn’t require additives and increases engine lubricity
  • Decreases particulate matter in the engine and aftertreatment system
  • Provides a much higher cetane value than petroleum diesel

“Accelerating existing fleet turnover to advanced diesel technology costs 75% less than EV and delivers three times GHG reduction benefits.” ***

Tax credits and discounts at the state and federal level may be available to our customers, and bulk purchasing can pare fuel prices to rates competitive with, or less than, diesel.

*We use B100 and B99 interchangeably as most retailers sell a B99 blend to realize tax credits for blended fuels while maintaining the carbon reduction integrity of B100.

“The mileage was better under the biodiesel…It was very noticeable that I was able to go much further before refueling than usual.”
