Today, it is a cost-neutral way for fleet owners to achieve their goals by allowing them to convert an entire diesel-powered fleet to alternative fuel overnight. Renewable diesel can be produced using various technologies including those that process solid biomass, liquid biomass, waste gasification and pyrolysis.
