ACT Expo / ACT News’ Post

Shelley Simpson, from J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc., shared insightful perspectives at the ACT Expo on enhancing fleet efficiency through existing fuel-saving technologies like BioDiesel, Renewable Diesel, and RNG. She emphasized the practicality of these solutions and highlighted key points: 🌱 Electrification is currently cost-prohibitive compared to its benefits. 🌱 The energy required to fast-charge one truck equals powering 600 homes - a staggering comparison. 🌱 Electric trucks' carbon footprint during production can be four to five times higher than diesel trucks. 🌱 Leveraging existing technologies offers a feasible and prompt way to reduce emissions with tangible results.

Powering heavy vehicles over long distances can be overwhelmingly expensive, that’s a given. And adding sustainability seems to only make costs rise! The Zema Partnership argues that the answer lies in renewable fuels. Read the full article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dGFPr72s #Transport #Intertraffic #SustainableFuel

The fleet industry is at a pivotal juncture, balancing environmental responsibility with operational efficiency. As the urgency to address greenhouse gas emissions grows, renewable diesel emerges as a game-changer. 🌱 Offering up to a 75% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over its lifecycle compared to fossil diesel, renewable diesel is not just eco-friendly but also promises enhanced operational benefits for work truck fleets. 🔧 From reduced engine maintenance needs to optimal performance in diverse conditions, the advantages are manifold. 🔄 Renewable diesel's "drop-in" nature means no disruptions, no need for blending, and complete compatibility with existing engines and infrastructure. Companies like TITAN Freight and Cox Petroleum have already embraced this change, witnessing tangible improvements and cost savings. At Roadz, we believe in embracing innovations that drive both sustainability and efficiency. Renewable diesel is a testament to what's possible when we prioritize the planet without compromising performance. @https://lnkd.in/dkBe-KcS https://lnkd.in/ddSAd_eH

Latest News - Read all about it! 📰 London Gatwick Airport has announced a significant reduction in carbon emissions, achieving a 90% decrease by switching its diesel vehicle fleet to hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). This move has led to an annual carbon saving of over 950 tonnes. Click the link for the full story and join the conversation! 💬 #Quicktemp #LatestNews #GatwickAirport #Renewables #HVO

Two government reviews are under way aimed at promoting transport decarbonisation: one focused on transition to electric vehicles and the other on development of a fuel quality standard for renewable diesel #trucks #trucking #truckingindustry #truckingbusiness #truckingaustralia #decarbonisation #netzero #electrictrucks #hydrogenfuel #freighttransport

Buried in this article is a paragraph that explains the customer value proposition of an integrated renewables company. Neste produces #renewablediesel and #sustainableaviationfuel. The company partners with Avfuel Corporation to provide SAF to Atlantic Aviation for use at the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport. SAF goes into aircraft, and renewable diesel powers the trucks that carry the low emission jet fuel. This is how you #climateactionnow!

While we continue our longer range focus on transitioning more of our fleet to electric buses, our immediate focus centers on our strategic decision to utilize R99 renewable diesel fuel as a transitional step in our quest for cleaner, more sustainable energy sources. In 2023, 56% of MTRWESTERN’s monthly miles driven were operated with R99 as our fuel source for our buses with plans for increased operations utilizing R99 in 2024 and beyond. In this latest article, MTR president Jeremy Butzlaff provides insights into the company's R99 fuel transition. #electricbuses #climateaction #sustainability #renewablefuels

Renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel are poised to play a major role in the decarbonization of the global transportation fuel supply.

Big news in renewable aviation fuel! In January 2024, the first commercial facility for converting ethanol into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) opened in Soperton, Georgia, supported by DOE's Bioenergy Technology Office (BETO). Led by Dr. Mark Shmorhun, the Freedom Pines Fuel Facility will produce nine million gallons of SAF and one million gallons of renewable diesel in its first year, providing a boost to the local economy. This milestone supports the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge, aiming to produce three billion gallons of SAFs by 2030 and meet 100% of U.S. aviation fuel demand with SAFs by 2050. #RenewableAviationFuel #Sustainability #Bioenergy
