WHAT IS NEXDIESEL RENEWABLE DIESEL?
- NEXDIESEL is Renewable Diesel, a hydrocarbon that is chemically indistinguishable to traditional petroleum diesel, but based on its superior quality, it easily outperforms both conventional petroleum diesel and biodiesel.
- NEXDIESEL is 100% renewable and sustainable. It allows any diesel powered vehicle to operate petroleum-free without operational issues.
- NEXDIESEL has a high cetane number (70-90) and combusts more efficiently reducing emissions.
- NEXDIESEL can be used in all modern diesel engines without any modifications and can be blended with petroleum diesel in various concentrations.
- NEXDIESEL meets the petroleum diesel standard ASTM D975.
- NEXDIESEL’S carbon intensity/life cycle analysis is approximately 60-90% less than petroleum diesel.
- NEXDIESEL’s use has been proven to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10-90% when compared to petroleum diesel.
- NEXDIESEL is fully compatible with existing logistical systems and requires no additional investments in this area.
- NEXDIESEL can be used year-round even in very cold climates. It won’t gel in extremely cold temperatures.
- NEXDIESEL’s storage qualities are excellent.
NEXDIESEL RENEWABLE DIESEL | VS. | TRADITIONAL BIODIESEL (FAME) |
---|---|---|
0-100% Content Blending Ratio. Can be blended with petroleum diesel, biodiesel (FAME), or used directly in any diesel engine. | Maximum 5-20% blend with traditional biodiesel. Using larger percentages may result in engine problems. | |
Meets strictest quality standards set by engine manufacturers and ASTM D975. | Does not meet ASTM D975 standard. | |
Significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions (PM, NOx, CO, HC). | Increases NOx emissions when compared to petroleum diesel. | |
Excellent storability. | Issues with long-term storage. | |
No required engine modifications or fuel logistical system changes. | Blending restrictions aimed at preventing engine problems limits the benefits. |
