Renewable Energy Group enters fuel supply deal with Hunt & Sons

REG Ultra Clean is a premium 100 percent renewable fuel that consists of biodiesel and renewable diesel (HVO) blend. Developed by REG, the patent-pending fuel delivers both the excellent lubricity of biodiesel and renewable diesel’s high cetane and low cloud point.

This results in better self-ignition, easier-starting, smoother-running engines, longer engine life, and reliable operation even in colder temperatures compared to conventional petroleum ultra low-sulphur diesel.

Certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), it is according to REG, one of the lowest carbon intensity liquid transportation fuels on the market today which enables businesses to achieve sustainability targets with the performance they expect.

This agreement positions REG and Hunt & Sons to deliver a cleaner-burning, sustainable fuel that immediately reduces emissions within their existing fueling systems and infrastructure. We are proud to work with Hunt & Sons to provide solutions that answer the call of California’s forward-thinking carbon reduction strategies, said Gary Haer, VP Sales, and Marketing, REG.

Headquartered in Sacramento, California (CA), Hunt & Sons is a leading petroleum products distributor in the region and the agreement will be the first-of-its-kind for the business.

Hunt & Sons are excited to expand our relationship with REG by providing our customers throughout Northern California with a cleaner-burning renewable fuel. We always strive to provide the best customer service and most innovative products to our customers and REG Ultra Clean will help us fulfill those goals while benefitting the environment, said Josh Hunt, CEO, Hunt & Sons.

REG Ultra Clean will be offered at 12 locations and is currently available at two Hunt & Sons locations – Rancho Cordova and Sacramento.

Consumers are demanding cleaner, innovative solutions and we are committed to producing clean fuels sustainably. REG Ultra Clean provides a simple, cost-effective immediate carbon reduction solution for diesel consumers today said Haer.
