In this meeting, Thomas Conboy, provided a detailed overview of the city’s transition to biofuels for heavy-duty vehicles, ferries, and building heating to meet aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets.

The discussion highlighted the technical advantages of renewable diesel over biodiesel, such as its performance in Arctic conditions and reduced particulate matter.
