Biodiesel 

Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled cooking oils.

Where you’ll see it:

• Blended with petroleum diesel
• Typical blends include B5 (5% biodiesel) and B20 (20% biodiesel)
• Used in trucks, buses, and heavy equipment

Blending biodiesel improves emissions while keeping engines running reliably. Most equipment manufacturers approve at least B5.

Renewable Diesel 

Renewable diesel takes biofuels a step further. It is chemically the same as petroleum diesel, but made from renewable sources like canola oil.

Where you’ll see it:

• Works in any diesel engine with no modifications
• Used in trucking, rail, marine, and heavy equipment
• Expanding into aviation and long-haul transport

This fuel is growing fast because it fits today’s engines and infrastructure while lowering emissions.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a lower-carbon option for the aviation sector. It is made from renewable materials and blended with traditional jet fuel. SAF is designed to work in today’s aircraft and airport fueling systems when used in approved blends. It must meet very strict fuel performance and safety standards, and is typically introduced through industry or government mandates, incentives, or agreements.

Common sources:

• Used cooking oil and waste fats
• Vegetable oils, including canola oil, in some pathways
• Crop and forestry residues
• Municipal solid waste

Where you’ll see it:

• Blended into jet fuel for commercial and cargo flights

SAF helps tackle emissions in aviation, one of the toughest sectors to decarbonize, while meeting strict safety and performance standards.
