Recognizing fleet customers’ growing demand for lower-carbon energy sources, Booster®, a tech-driven mobile energy delivery company, expanded its renewable diesel product offering to three new markets in California. The move enables nearly 50 Sacramento, San Jose, and San Diego fleets to slash GHG emissions by up to 70%.
This expansion marks a major milestone. With the transition to renewable diesel, Booster has converted nearly all its diesel-powered fleet customers in California to alternative fuel. This reflects the company’s commitment to continuously upgrading its product offerings to meet growing demand for cleaner energy solutions. With the addition of these new markets, Booster now offers renewable diesel in a total of five major locations.
AN EMERGING ALTERNATIVE FUEL
Renewable diesel is made from biomass and categorized by the US Department of Energy as an emerging alternative fuel that can significantly reduce a diesel fleet’s life cycle GHG emissions while still maintaining high performance. Renewable diesel can also blend with traditional diesel fuels, allowing users to easily transition back and forth between fuel sources. Further, it requires no modifications, upgrades, or changes to the equipment, vehicles, or service provided.
“Renewable diesel offers an immediate solution for fleets that are looking to decarbonize their operations without sacrificing performance or requiring expensive equipment or infrastructure modifications or upgrades,” says Frank Mycroft, Booster CEO and founder. “By expanding service to these major markets in California, Booster has made significant progress in helping our fleet customers make good on their sustainability and decarbonization goals.”
Booster currently offers a renewable diesel primarily through a partnership with Renewable Energy Group (REG), a producer and provider of renewable diesel as well as biodiesel and blended fuels. The partnership provides customers with broader access to lower-carbon fuels. It also makes Booster among the first energy delivery companies to secure a consistent supply of next-generation renewable diesel products. Currently, out of about 145,000 gas stations in the US, only 6,003 carry alternative—fewer than 0.5%.
