Foster Fuels and Compass Datacenters Celebrate Half-Million Gallons of HVO Renewable Diesel Delivery
Summary
“All existing site generators we’ve filled and tested have seamlessly transitioned to renewable diesel fuel,” said Cheryl Cohen, Compass Datacenter’s Head of Engineering and Commissioning CoE. If we didn’t know it was HVO being put into the tanks, we wouldn’t know there was a difference.”According to Cohen, the biggest challenge they are experiencing is re-permitting for their generators. If permitting is the biggest issue we face in our effort to decarbonize Compass’ backup generator footprint, we’ve scored a huge win.”Foster’s surge into providing renewable energy has led to the realization of a need for more storage capability in data center localities which, in time, will result in better economy of scale, and further reduction of Scope 3 impacts. Worley noted, “Now that we’ve hit a stride with national delivery, we are working on ways to optimize availability as we see more data centers transition to HVO. We’re delivering Scope 1 emissions reduction to our client, while being cognizant of ways we as a company can reduce the Scope 3 impact of delivery.”Established in 1921, Foster Fuels, Inc. is a privately held corporation, providing downstream distribution of diesel, renewable HVO diesel, gasoline, Jet A, propane, and emergency water to residential, commercial, and government customers.
