Why biofuels are a convenient, promising option for fleets eager to decarbonize | Colin Huwyler
When Colin Huwyler attended the University of Buffalo, he traveled an hour to and from class every day, and was determined to find a more environmentally friendly way to commute. That’s when he started experimenting with recycled cooking oil from restaurants and turning that into biofuels.
That experiment launched Huwyler’s sustainability journey.
He’s now the CEO of Optimus Technologies, a company that leverages existing infrastructure to enable diesel engines to operate on 100% biofuels — refined fuel derived from fats an oils.
The process suits numerous types fleets and has net zero carbon emissions. But it’s an especially auspicious option for risk-averse fleets — that are eager to decarbonize — since it bolts onto existing trucks and doesn’t interfere with a fleet’s operation.
