•Renewable diesel is chemically equivalent to conventional diesel and can be shipped via conventional pipeline along with other fuels.

•Renewable diesel has a higher cetane value (cetane is the equivalent concept of octane for gasoline).


•The process is CO2 neutral.
 
•Renewable diesel is cleaner burning than conventional fossil diesel.

•Renewable diesel will produce less nitrous oxide and have lower sulphur content.


•Renewable diesel is approximately equal in energy content to conventional diesel so fuel efficiency will be about the same.


•Although renewable diesel and biodiesel use similar feedstocks such as animal fats and vegetable oils, renewable diesel has a different processing method which creates a chemically different product.



•The finished product will flow through the existing diesel fuel distribution system. One of the strong benefits of renewable diesel is that existing infrastructure can be used.
The renewable diesel will be part of the on-road diesel supply and will likely be sold across Europe.
