If it seems like the sustainability trend is everywhere, that’s because it is.
- Walmart recently launched Project Gigaton, with a stated goal of reducing emissions in its supply chain by one gigaton by 2030.
- LEED certification has become an aspiration for many convenience stores opening new buildings.
- California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) calls for the use of cleaner-burning transportation fuels. (Read the new REG white paper on biodiesel’s role in the LCFS by downloading it here.)
Are You Forward Thinking?
From fleets to individual drivers, from companies to public organizations, the sustainability trend has taken hold and shows no sign of slowing down. Forward-thinking c-stores are already tapping into their customers’ desire to be green by adopting sustainable practices both inside their stores and out.
Reducing carbon emissions and replacing fossil fuels with something that’s more environmentally friendly is a message that a lot of people can get behind, whether they’re fleets or individual drivers.
The Golden State Leads the Way
Perhaps the best glimpse at the future of sustainability and fuel is found in California, where so many trends start. The LCFS aims to reduce the carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 10% by 2020. Obligated parties and fleets are turning to biodiesel as a solution.
- Biodiesel volumes in California increased 1,196% over the past six years.
- The average biodiesel blend level in the state recently experienced a 7% year-over-year increase.
These stats and other insights are found in the new white paper from REG, “Lower Carbon Intensity Solution — How Biodiesel Has Become the Answer to Emission-cutting Initiatives.” Download it by clicking here.
No matter where you do business, you’d be well-served by understanding what’s happening in terms of sustainability. Maybe it’s time you jumped on the biodiesel bandwagon.
