A Transparent Fueling Partner

by Ryan Erickson (ACT News/Trillium) ... When fleets fuel with renewable natural gas, the savings can really add up. RNG combines the cost savings already provided by traditional natural gas with the environmental benefits of fueling with a low carbon, renewable fuel.

RNG is produced by capturing and cleaning the methane that is produced when organic matter from landfills, wastewater treatment plants or even dairy farms decomposes. A drop-in replacement for CNG, RNG offers fleets a seamless fueling and performance experience. Trillium ensures that the RNG offered in stations across the country can be priced just as competitively as traditional CNG. In some stations, such as Trillium’s more than 45 public and private CNG fueling stations across California, RNG makes up most of the natural gas being offered.

RNG provides such a significant environmental benefit that it can be translated to real monetary value through programs like California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program. In states with these programs in place, renewable fuel producers and providers can earn money by producing or supplying RNG through low carbon fuel markets.

The lower the carbon content of the fuel (or the higher negative carbon intensity score), the more real monetary value the fuel produces. High carbon input sources, like dairy waste for instance, are the most valuable because they capture and reuse the most climate-altering emissions.

Trillium can pass on this environmental benefit in the form of real cost savings for fleets at the pump. All fleets are left to do is fuel with RNG supplied at Trillium and Love’s stations across the country, and they can be confident they are saving money and emissions, enabling fleets to go beyond carbon neutrality while cutting fuel costs.

In addition to offering competitive fueling prices, Trillium helps contracted fleet customers to determine the best fuel pricing options that work for their unique operating and financial needs.

Whether that’s determining a flat, fixed fuel or energy price over the long term, or hedging a future price of fuel, Trillium has developed several flexible pricing and contract options to fit the needs of every fleet, ensuring they are operating confidently and paying the best price possible. Fuel and energy pricing are notoriously complex and complicated, often leaving fleets with more questions than answers on how fuel pricing is determined. That’s why Trillium has built an expert wholesale commodity trading group in its Houston headquarters to ensure we always secure the best deal for our fleet customers.

At both retail locations and private stations, Trillium works with fleet customers to ensure they fully understand how their fuel pricing is determined, breaking down all of the factors that comprise fuel and energy pricing so fleets have complete insight into the final purchase price.

Trillium is an extension of Love’s Travel Stops, which means even more savings, flexibility, fueling locations and financing options for fleets. When fleets fuel with Trillium, it means they are backed by Love’s and its long history of servicing the needs of the trucking industry. And, by leveraging the vast Love’s and Trillium network of fueling stations across the country, fleets can bundle multiple fuels and services to fit the needs of their fleets today and well into the future – whether that’s CNG, RNG, electricity, hydrogen, biodiesel or renewable diesel, or even tires, DEF and mechanical services.
