March 10, 2022 – The City of Madison, Wisconsin will soon be seeing emissions reductions after converting 17 of its fleet vehicles to operate on 100% biodiesel as part of the Wisconsin city’s partnership with Optimus Technologies and Renewable Energy Group.
The City of Madison has set the goal of reaching 100% renewable energy and zero net carbon emissions for all city operations by 2030 and has achieved LEED GOLD status for environmental sustainability with their fleet garage.
Biodiesel is a cleaner alternative to petroleum diesel that is a sustainable solution for fleets. Over the lifecycle of the fuel, biodiesel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 86% when compared with petroleum diesel. Utilizing Optimus Technologies proprietary Vector System, a simple vehicle add-on that works in conjunction with the conventional diesel components, fleets can operate on B100 year-round.
