Hydrogenation-Derived Renewable Diesel Research and Development

Hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel (HDRD) is close to full commercialization, and much of the ongoing research and development is being performed by manufacturers. See a list of manufacturers and projects on the Production page. The U.S. Department of Energy has supported research and development efforts, including the work of UOP's Renewable Energy and Chemicals unit in developing HDRD production technologies.
