Renewable Diesel Fuel

The term Renewable Diesel (R100) refers to an advanced biofuel consisting of fully hydrogenated medium to long chain paraffinic and branched hydrocarbons and is typically made from vegetable oil, animal fats, used cooking oil, or greases. This fuel is typically created by a process called hydrotreating and isomerization and is generally blended at a rate of 1-100% (R1-R100) by total volume with petroleum-based diesel. Biodiesel is not “Renewable Diesel.” Detroit Diesel has approved renewable diesel up to 100% blend rates
