Shell Renewable Diesel
Seamlessly integrate this renewable fuel into your existing diesel engine fleet¹ to help decarbonise your operations.
In Europe, Shell Renewable Diesel, offers up to 90% less CO2e² emissions compared to B7 diesel³ on a life cycle basis.⁴
Shell Renewable Diesel, sometimes referred to as HVO in the market, is a viable low-carbon alternative to power your fleet and your decarbonisation goals. It is derived from waste or residue non-food and non-feed feedstock5, and compatible with most existing diesel engines1. It is also free of unwanted components such as sulphur, metals and aromatics.
Fuel your fleet with a range of benefits
Simplified implementation
The compatibility of Shell Renewable Diesel with existing diesel infrastructure and engines means it can be used as a drop-in alternative, with no new vehicles or modifications needed. This allows for a seamless integration into current operations, minimising downtime and supporting uninterrupted fleet performance1.
Refuelling time
Designed to reduce refuelling time and allow a full tank refill6.
Cold start
Excellent low temperature combustion performance7.
Engine noise reduction
Shell Renewable Diesel can enhance your driving experience by reducing engine noise8.
Building Europe’s biofuel future
Shell’s target is to become a net zero emissions⁹ energy business by 2050.
By offering customers a broad choice of low-carbon solutions, we can help our customers decarbonise, as well as support energy security during this transition. These products are an effective way to help decarbonise customers for whom energy density in fuels is key.
Disclaimers
Disclaimers
1. When switching from diesel. Based on Shell’s operability studies and market experience to date. Vehicle handbook and/or label at the fuel tank socket must be checked for OEM approval. Not applicable for passenger cars.
2. Between 80%-90% CO₂e. CO₂e (carbon dioxide equivalent) refers to CO₂, CH₄, N₂O. Applies for Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany and The Netherlands.
3. The reduced CO₂e emissions are calculated by comparing to a GHG baseline intensity of 90 gCO₂e/MJ on a Well-to-Wheel basis, which is representative of a European Union market B7 diesel. The carbon intensity of the B7 diesel is calculated by Shell using emission factors from the JEC Well-to-Tank report v5. (Link: European Commission, Joint Research Centre, Prussi, M., Yugo, M., De Prada, L., et al., JEC well-to-tank report V5: JEC well-to-wheels analysis: well-to-wheels analysis of future automotive fuels and powertrains in the European context, Publications Office, 2020, https://data.europa.eu/doi/10.2760/959137).
4. The full life cycle assessment of a product's CO₂e emissions includes emissions associated with feedstock production, feedstock transport, fuel production, fuel transportation and distribution as well as end use and/or combustion.
5. Shell Renewable Diesel is derived from allocated waste or residue non-food and non-feed biofuel feedstocks compliant with the RED II directive including but not limited to feedstocks listed under the Annex IX-A and IX-B [Link].
