Approved Oil reports successful renewable diesel performance during NYC deep freeze
In New York state, Approved Oil Company of Brooklyn, Inc. reported the successful performance of renewable diesel (RD) supplied to New York City agencies throughout one of the most severe winter periods the region has experienced in more than 65 years, including RD-powered operations of the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY).
The update follows Approved’s initial announcement several years ago supporting New York City’s adoption of renewable diesel as a lower-carbon alternative to ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) under City procurement and climate initiatives. This winter’s sustained sub-freezing temperatures provided an unprecedented real-world operational test of RD-powered municipal fleets and equipment at scale.
Despite prolonged cold weather, elevated demand, and challenging logistics conditions, renewable diesel supplied by Approved powered DSNY snow response, collection vehicles, and critical sanitation equipment without interruption, with no weather-related fuel disruptions reported.
