Back to Basics: Renewable Diesel 101

 

Join us for an introductory webinar covering the fundamentals of renewable diesel (RD) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). As part of our ongoing “Back to Basics” series, this session provides an overview of production methods, common feedstocks like used cooking oil, oil seeds, or animal fats, and RD and SAF’s role as a drop-in replacement for petroleum diesel and jet fuel. In this session, we also examine life-cycle carbon intensity (CI), market applications, demand, and regulatory drivers such as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), state-driven low-carbon fuel standard programs, Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives, and international markets, such as the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), as well as emerging voluntary markets. This webinar is ideal for fuel producers, policymakers, sustainability professionals, and anyone seeking to better understand the RD and SAF markets.

This webinar originally aired on April 9, 2025.
