Renewable Diesel
Sustainable, Non-Fossil Fuel
A Seamless Transition
Sprague has championed advancements in transportation and heating fuels to reduce environmental footprints for its customers. As a natural progression, Renewable Diesel (RD) emerges as the next step in reducing emissions and embracing renewable energy without the need for costly investments in new infrastructure. This advanced, no carbon, ultra-low sulfur drop-in fuel replacement is designed to significantly reduce emissions. Unlike biodiesel, it offers reliable cold weather performance, and is free of sulfur, oxygen and aromatic compounds.
Up to 75% Emissions Reduction:
Lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions compared to fossil fuel diesel
Improved Air Quality:
Lower particulate matter and NOx emissions resulting in reduced air pollution
100% Sustainably Sourced:
Produced from renewable feedstocks such as used cooking oil, fats, and soybean oil
100% Compatible Drop-In Solution:
Meets ASTM D-975 specifications, requires no blending
Engine Benefits
- Aromatic-free is less harmful to employees, handlers & environment
- High flash point improves safety for fueling operations and maintenance, and meets marine regulations
- 33% less soot to plug DPF’s and reduce fuel economy
- Reduced injector deposits
- Maintenance costs and intervals may be reduced
Operational Continuity
- Offers similar low risk of water absorption and microbial growth as fossil diesel
- Good oxidative stability = long shelf life
- Minimal to zero risk of filter blocking
- Non-polar, will not clean out debris in older fuel tanks

How does renewable diesel meet emission reduction goals?
Renewable diesel is an advanced, low carbon, ultra-low sulfur drop-in fuel replacement designed to significantly reduce emissions. It can help to decrease your emissions by at least 50%*
What is the difference between biofuel and renewable fuel?
Biodiesel:
Through the transesterification process, feedstocks are converted into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME)
Renewable Diesel:
Through hydrotreating and isomerization, feedstocks are converted into pure diesel hydrocarbons
