by Colin Huwyler (Construction Executive/Optimus Technologies) … While the idea of electrification has been emerging around the world, oftentimes it’s neither a cost-effective or technically feasible solution for heavy duty machinery like construction equipment. The reasons for this are threefold: Modifications, if available, can be costly, charge times are immense and productivity times decrease drastically. In some cases, the electrified equivalent may require two machines to perform the same tasks that a single diesel unit can accomplish. Liquid fuel-based alternatives continue to be the best option for achieving reduced carbon emissions in diesel vehicles and machinery, and using 100% biodiesel in equipment is the most sustainable solution around.

Governors from Connecticut and Rhode Island signed graduated approaches to tackling carbon emissions into law this week through mandates requiring increased use of biomass-based heating oil, also known as Bioheat fuel, over the next decade. A similar bill in New York awaits the governor’s signature, highlighting the growing momentum Bioheat fuel is experiencing in the region.
“The biodiesel and renewable diesel industries have forged a long-time partnership with the heating oil industry regarding the use of Bioheat fuel in oil-burning furnaces. That relationship continues to drive change,” said Donnell Rehagen, CEO of the National Biodiesel Board. “Together we’re driving demand for biodiesel and renewable diesel, while also delivering a carbon-reducing fuel solution that is not only better and cleaner than petroleum-based diesel, it is available now.”
