Sacramento County to trial Neste’s renewable diesel if prices remain in check

In California, Sacramento County will trial Neste’s renewable diesel during the next three months in its fleet of more than 400 trucks and other vehicles in what it hopes will be a path towards reducing GHG emissions. The price has been a main crux of switching over to renewable fuels such as Neste’s drop-in fuel, sometimes running cheaper than fossil diesel but also sometimes running more expensive. As the county buys about 1 million gallons of fuel per year, the Board of Supervisors will have to sign off on continuing the trial if the price goes above fossil diesel by more than 10%.
