San Diego International airport begins using renewable diesel for airside equipment
In California, San Diego International Airport said it started to use renewable diesel for airside equipment.
The airport said that the sustainable fuel is now being used in all diesel-powered airside vehicles and equipment, such as baggage tugs, belt loaders, and firefighting vehicles. Approximately 30% of all airside vehicles and equipment at San Diego International Airport are now “alternative fuel” because of the switch from petroleum diesel to renewable diesel.
“San Diego International Airport is thrilled to begin using renewable diesel to reduce the airport’s carbon footprint, improve local air quality, and help meet our sustainability goals. We thank our airlines for their cooperation and partnership during this process,” said Kimberly Becker, President and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.
The renewable diesel is supplied by SAN Fuel Company.
