Channel Islands next market to get renewable diesel

In the Channel Islands, Rubis is launching renewable diesel as an immediate solution towards Jersey’s objective to reduce carbon emissions.

After Scandinavian and Baltic countries, the Channel Islands will become only the 11th jurisdiction in the world to offer the new fuel, which is branded locally RD100. RD100 has been on trial in Jersey with heavy commercial vehicle fleets for several months and operators report marked improvement in both engine performance and reduced smoke emissions. The new fuel is compatible with existing diesel engines and there is no need for vehicle modifications.
