What are Renewables?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Renewables are made from renewable resources \u2013 used cooking oils, fats, greases, vegetable oils, grains and sugars \u2013 that can be replenished in a short time period. Examples include ethanol, biodiesel and renewable diesel. Wind and solar are also examples of renewable energy.\u202f <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Types of Diesel:
Renewable Diesel v. Biodiesel v. Conventional Diesel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\t
\n\t\t

Renewable Diesel<\/h2>

is a non-petroleum hydrocarbon fuel, produced from renewable feedstocks \u2013 fats and vegetable oils \u2013 by refining them through a hydrotreater. It is a very high-quality, fully refined diesel that is physically and chemically very similar to conventional diesel. It can be blended with conventional diesel or used as a complete replacement for conventional diesel.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\t
\n\t\t

Biodiesel<\/h2>

is a non-hydrocarbon fuel produced from renewable feedstocks \u2013 fats and vegetable oils \u2013 by reacting them with methanol. It cannot be used as a replacement for conventional diesel, as it must be blended with diesel and requires special handling.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\t
\n\t\t

Conventional Diesel<\/h2>

is a petroleum-based hydrocarbon fuel produced from fossil fuels, a nonrenewable natural resource.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Better Fuel for Your Consumers and the Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

\n\t\t

Lower Carbon Footprint<\/h2>

Made from a variety of low carbon intensity renewable feedstocks, renewable diesel has a lower-carbon footprint than conventional diesel fuels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\t
\n\t\t

More efficient engine<\/h2>

With higher cetane levels, 76\u00ae<\/sup> Renewable Diesel allows engines to burn the fuel better than regular diesel, improving performance and lowering tail pipe emissions for less smog.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\t
\n\t\t

Quicker start, quieter running<\/h2>

The higher cetane also leads to enhanced engine combustion for a better burning fuel. This means a smoother-running, quieter engine, as well as a rapid cold start for better performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\t
\n\t\t

High performance<\/h2>

Because of the higher energy density of renewable diesel, engines can burn its fuel completely, generating more power per cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Simple Switch<\/h2>

76\u00ae Renewable Diesel is a \u201cdrop-in\u201d fuel with no blending limit. Since it\u2019s so chemically and physically similar to conventional diesel, you can make the switch without any modification to your existing infrastructure. Fully compatible with all diesel engines, drivers can seamlessly switch between conventional diesel and renewable diesel without any engine modifications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sustainable Supply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Phillips 66 San Francisco Refinery is currently undergoing a transformation, dubbed Rodeo Renewed, anticipated to become the world\u2019s largest production facility of renewable fuels. Upon completion of Rodeo Renewed, the facility will produce more than 800 million gallons a year of renewable fuels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
