Renewable Diesel is a biomass-derived transportation fuel suitable for use in diesel engines. This alternative fuel can be produced from cellulosic biomass materials such as crop residues, wood and sawdust, and switchgrass, and it qualifies as an advanced biofuel. Since it is chemically identical to petroleum diesel fuel, renewable diesel meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specification ASTM D975 for petroleum diesel and may be used in existing petroleum pipelines, storage tanks, and diesel engines as a replacement fuel or blended with any amount of petroleum diesel. Nearly all domestically and imported renewable diesel is used in California due to the economic benefits offered under the Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
