Sustainability is no longer just a corporate initiative—it’s an operational mandate. Across industries, companies are seeking cleaner, more efficient energy sources to reduce emissions and meet ESG goals. Renewable diesel and ultra-low-sulfur fuels are emerging as the most effective ways to balance environmental responsibility with performance.

1. What Is Renewable Diesel?
2. Unlike biodiesel, renewable diesel is a hydrotreated fuel chemically identical to petroleum diesel—meaning it delivers the same power and reliability with far lower emissions. It can be used in existing engines without modification, making the transition seamless for fleet operators.
3. Cleaner Operations, Same Performance
4. Fleets that integrate renewable diesel report up to 65% lower lifecycle emissions. Combined with modern DEF optimization, clean fuel systems can extend engine life and reduce maintenance intervals. Summa Energy’s mixed-fuel delivery model enables companies to incorporate cleaner blends while maintaining uptime and torque performance.
5. Compliance and ESG Readiness
6. Environmental standards are tightening across federal and state agencies, with major sectors now required to report fuel-related emissions. Through data tracking and fuel monitoring, companies can validate compliance and report carbon reductions with accuracy.
7. Logistics and Storage Made Simple
8. Transitioning to cleaner fuels doesn’t require infrastructure overhaul. Summa’s dispatch and delivery systems are equipped to handle renewable diesel, ULSD, and DEF simultaneously—routing each delivery for minimal idle time and optimal coverage.
