Restaurant Technologies and Chevron REG create circular economy to reuse restaurant UCO
Restaurant Technologies will use biofuels supplied by Chevron Renewable Energy Group in its commercial vehicle fleet.
Restaurant Technologies has provided Chevron Renewable Energy Group with used cooking oil for more than 10 years.
These have been collected from its 34,000 customers including restaurant chains, independent restaurants, grocers, hotels, casinos, universities and hospitals. The UCO will be utilised as a feedstock to produce biodiesel and renewable diesel.
“At Restaurant Technologies, our goal has always been to reduce the impact on humans and the environment by better managing cooking oil,” said Jeff Kiesel, president and CEO of Restaurant Technologies.
“As a company focused on sustainability, we are really excited to be able to ‘walk the walk’ by fuelling our own commercial fleet with biofuel created from the used cooking oil we collect.”
“Chevron believes the future of energy is lower carbon. And bio-based diesel is a lower carbon solution for the transportation sector,” said Kevin Lucke, president of Chevron Renewable Energy Group.
“Our collaboration with Restaurant Technologies to secure renewable feedstocks has been critical to our work for years. Now it’s our turn to help them achieve their sustainability goals through the use of biofuels, with the adoption of our EnDura Fuels™.”
Biodiesel and renewable diesel are lower carbon alternatives to traditional petroleum diesel that may help fleet operators reduce the lifecycle carbon intensity of their operations.
Restaurant Technologies will initially utilise a B30-B50 blend, 30-50% InfiniD™ (biodiesel), with the remainder petroleum diesel.
“Restaurant Technologies runs the most effective proprietary closed loop oil management system through its extensive network of depots across the US,” said Tyler Reeder, managing partner, ECP and board member at Restaurant Technologies. “By adopting a process where the company can use biofuel created through its own business model, Restaurant Technologies is setting an example for those who prioritize sustainability as a business practice.”
