About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
Union Pacific has increased consumption of low-carbon biofuels and renewable diesel in its locomotive fleet, reaching 6.1% of total diesel used in 2023. Collaborations with locomotive manufacturers led to certifications for blends up to 55% renewable diesel and 20% biodiesel, with ongoing pilots including 100% biomass-based fuel on specific routes. Evidence: "In 2024, our testing collaborations with a locomotive manufacturer and other Class I railroads led to certification of blends of up to 55% renewable diesel and 20% biodiesel in our locomotives." — https://www.up.com/content/dam/upcom/strategy-sustainability/documents/cdp-submission.pdf
