Renewable diesel for a cleaner tomorrow

Renewable diesel

Synhelion’s renewable diesel cuts fuel-related CO₂ emissions by up to 100% compared to fossil diesel. As a drop-in solution, our diesel directly replaces fossil fuels without compromising on performance. Our renewable diesel is compatible with existing engines and infrastructure, making it an immediate and effective way to reduce emissions.

This is the future of transportation – sustainable, scalable, and ready today.

Key characteristics and benefits

Sustainability

Produced from RED-compliant biogenic waste and renewable energy, Synhelion’s diesel reduces lifecycle CO₂ emissions by up to 100% compared to fossil fuels.

Compatibility

Synhelion’s diesel is a drop-in fuel that is compatible with today’s infrastructure and engines. No modifications are needed to storage facilities, distribution infrastructure, fuel systems, or engines.

Performance

Synhelion’s diesel delivers the same range and engine performance as fossil diesel, ensuring uncompromised efficiency.

Compliance

Synhelion’s diesel is fully compliant with national and international diesel standards. Our diesel meets the specifications of EN 15940 and international equivalents, and it can be mixed with fossil diesel.

Air quality

Renewable diesel in action

Synhelion fuels steamboat with renewable diesel

For the first time ever, Synhelion has fueled a ship with its renewable diesel produced at plant DAWN. An over 110-year-old steamboat was fueled with Synhelion’s first barrel of renewable diesel. A milestone for more sustainable transportation on the water.

Synhelion fuels passenger bus with renewable diesel

Synhelion and Zurich Airport have reached another milestone on the road to more sustainable transportation solutions: for the first time, a passenger bus at Zurich Airport was fueled with Synhelion’s diesel from plant DAWN. Synhelion has thus proven that the technology is ready for deployment and the next phase of scaling.

Global CO₂ emissions
Together, shipping and heavy transport account for around 6.5% of global CO₂ emissions.

Market size
Demand for renewable heavy transport and marine fuel is expected to reach 138 million tons per year by 2050.

Defossilization strategy
Sustainable fuels play a crucial role in defossilizing shipping and heavy transport.

Our diesel customers

Zurich Airport

Zurich Airport has signed a five-year offtake agreement for renewable diesel with Synhelion. The fuel will initially be used to power the airport’s passenger buses and later to fuel special non-electric vehicles.

Lake Lucerne Navigation Company

Lake Lucerne Navigation Company (SGV) AG, a leading Swiss transportation company, has committed to a five-year fuel offtake agreement with Synhelion. The company will use the renewable diesel to power its historic steamboats.
