Industrial machinery rental “Rent” begins demonstration experiment to utilize 100% biodiesel fuel as truck fuel
Rent Co., Ltd. (Suruga-ku, Shizuoka City, President: Akira Okada), a comprehensive industrial machinery rental company, is conducting a demonstration experiment to utilize biodiesel fuel “B100” as truck fuel to promote carbon neutrality efforts. I decided to do it.

B100 is a 100% biodiesel fuel made from waste cooking oil and is an ecological fuel with zero carbon dioxide emissions. When burned, it emits CO2 like fossil fuels, but the plants used as raw materials absorb CO2 during the growth process, and CO2 in the atmosphere does not increase, so the use of B100 has the effect of promoting carbon neutrality. It is expected.

This experiment will be conducted from late August 2024 to January 2025 on a 6-ton truck at the Higashi Kanto Management Center (Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture), a maintenance base. The vehicle will be a service car that will go to sales offices and customer sites, and will measure the fuel consumption and spray volume of the injection nozzle during operation of the B100, as well as investigate the impact on related equipment. B100 will be procured with the cooperation of Sanwa Energy Co., Ltd. (Kohoku Ward, Yokohama City). We will verify the practicality of expanding its use and work to reduce the environmental impact of future business activities.
