A great way to reduce the environmental impact of heavy equipment is to transition from traditional petroleum diesel fuel to a sustainable alternative. The growing availability of renewable diesel fuel, a drop-in replacement for conventional diesel, will make that transition much more manageable. In this edition of Experts Corner, Dillon McKinnon, Manager of Mining Equipment Technology at SMS Equipment, and Sylvain Godbout, Director of Mining Sales, Canada at Cummins, explain the technology and its implications for Canada's mining industry.

By Industry
Dillon: Renewable diesel is also known by the technical terms HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) or HDRD (hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel). It is a next-generation biofuel that uses similar feedstocks to other alternatives like biodiesel but is made with a different process. This gives it some important advantages. Unlike its predecessor, renewable diesel is a drop-in fuel, meaning it can serve as a 100% replacement for diesel fuel. It can also be blended, and you can alternate between diesel and renewable diesel. So, there's a lot of flexibility there. It can also be transported and stored with existing diesel fuel infrastructure.
