Use Renewable Diesel for On- and Off-Road Fleets

Measure

The County will replace traditional diesel fuel with renewable diesel for all fleet vehicles.


​​​​​​In Progress​

Efforts for the measure have begun and some target indicators have been achieved.

Implementation

Establish a procurement policy that sets a goal for renewable diesel purchases and informs County vehicle operators where renewable diesel can be found within the County.

Timeframe: Near term

GHG Reduction Potential: 4,975 MT CO2e per year by 2030

Sectors: Vehicles - On-Road and Vehicles - Off-Road

Target Indicator: 100 percent of diesel purchased annually for on-road and off-road vehicles will be renewable diesel by 2030 (estimated to be 487,267 gallons purchased).​

​Status of Implementation

In 2022 the County fleet consumed 520,973 gallons of renewable diesel (R99) for on-road and off-road fleet operations.

Total fuel consumption of the County Fleet is over 60 percent alternative, renewable and advanced technology (including hybrids) which results in a total greenhouse gas reduction of approximately 49 percent compared to consumption of the same amount of conventional petroleum-based fuel.​
