Renewable Diesel Market Value Proposition
" WHAT IS RENEWABLE DIESEL?
III
Overview
RD vs. Petroleum Diesel CI(1)
RD is a cleaner, direct substitute for conventional diesel fuel
RD demand is legally mandated and growing
RD is chemically identical to petroleum diesel fuel (unlike biodiesel), which means it can be
used as direct replacement up to 100% in distribution systems and engines
High tech production process utilizes heat, pressure, hydrogen and catalysis to convert
renewable feedstocks to clean products
• Four primary renewable feedstocks / renewable sources: distiller's corn oil (DCO),
animal fat/tallow, used cooking oil (UCO) and various food and non-food vegetable oils
• RD produced from these renewable feedstocks offers lifecycle greenhouse gas
emissions that are 50%-80% lower than conventional petroleum diesel
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a renewable alternative to conventional jet fuel, is also
produced from MRL's process configuration

Lower carbon intensity ("CI") feedstocks
generate less lifecycle GHG emissions and
result in greater LCFS credit value
