Fuel
Renewable fuels, which include Diesel R-99 and Biodiesel (B5 and B20), have lower carbon intensities than conventional diesel, which promotes the protection of air quality. Renewable fuels also reduce our reliance on petroleum-based fuels.
This contract offers fuels made from renewable resources and thus is considered environmentally preferable.

BUYING TIPS
Look for:
- Low carbon fuels wherever possible.
- Alternative fuels such as E85, and biodiesel (B5/B20) in your vehicle fleet.Renewable diesel or a mixture of renewable diesel and biodiesel fuel to the greatest extent possible in your vehicle fleet.
- Alternative fuels (low carbon fuels) that help improve the air quality by lowering the carbon footprint and reduce smog producers Equipment that can use renewable diesel or a mixture of renewable/biodiesel.
