Clean Fuels Alliance America recognized two industry leaders at its annual meeting this week in Orlando for their outstanding contributions in advancing biodiesel for heavy-duty equipment and renewable liquid heating fuels.

John Deere received the Initiative Award for its leadership in approving the use of B30 (30% biodiesel) blends across its entire portfolio of Tier 4 engines. This marks an important step forward for farmers seeking to leverage higher blends of renewable fuel in their operations. An early adopter of biodiesel, John Deere has demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing renewable fuels that both support farmers and reduce emissions.

R.W. Beckett Corporation was honored with the Impact Award for the company’s pivotal role in advancing the use of biodiesel in home heating applications. Under CEO Kevin Beckett’s leadership, R.W. Beckett is providing the fastest carbon reduction solution for the northeast, while providing safe, affordable and reliable heat through certification of burners and system components designed for B100 (100% biodiesel).

The Clean Fuels Awards celebrate champions across biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel industries who exemplify leadership, innovation and commitment to clean energy solutions.
