Renewable Diesel Driving Low Carbon Results

A Vehicle Running on Renewable Diesel Emits Over 40% Fewer Emissions than an Electric Vehicle RENEWABLE DIESEL A DROP-IN FUEL U.S. Light-Duty Vehicle Life Cycle Emissions Argonne National Laboratory (DOE) Study U.S. Heavy-Duty Long-Haul Vehicle Life Cycle Emissions Southwest Research Institute Study emissions than an EV after 1,000,000 miles traveled g CO₂/mile Fuel Tons CO2 Battery Electric Vehicle 400 "Zero emissions" Feedstock Diesel Engine with Renewable Diesel 1,200 vehicles are not I Vehicle Manufacturing 49% fewer 350 zero emissions 1,000 40% fewer 300 emissions DGD's 800 250 than an EV renewable diesel 200 emits even fewer emissions 600 150 100 50 400 200 A single light-duty vehicle running on renewable diesel emits 29 tons less CO2 emissions than an electric vehicle, an amount equal to planting 435 trees* A single heavy-duty long-haul vehicle running on renewable diesel emits 561 tons less CO2 emissions than an electric vehicle, an amount equal to planting 8,482 trees* 0 Battery Electric Vehicle Diesel Engine with Renewable Diesel (soybean-based) Diesel Engine with Renewable Diesel (waste oil-based) Embedded Emissions (zero miles traveled) 500,000 Miles Traveled 1,000,000 Miles Traveled INVESTOR PRESENTATION | JUNE 2021 Source: Argonne National Laboratory (DOE) and Southwest Research Institute.
