New annual reports provide statistical analysis and transparency across the U.S. fuel distribution system
Clean Fuels Alliance America has launched its National Fuel Quality Reports, a resource providing the industry with a broad statistical view of fuel quality across multiple fuel types for the first time.
The reports cover biodiesel, diesel, gasoline grades, ethanol, aviation fuel, kerosene and specialty fuels, including B99/B100, B6+ blends, #1 and #2 diesel, E15–E85 gasolines, Jet A/A1 and 100LL AvGas. Compiled from multiple points across the national fuel distribution system, the reports provide statistical analysis of trends and fuel quality nationwide, offering actionable insights for fuel marketers, distributors, fleets, fuel buyers and OEMs.
“In today’s evolving fuel marketplace, quality assurance and transparency are more important than ever,” said Scott Fenwick, Technical Director at Clean Fuels. “The National Fuel Quality Reports give the industry an unprecedented view of real fuel quality trends across the country.”
The data is intended to help fuel suppliers benchmark performance and further develop housekeeping programs, while enabling fleets and buyers to make informed decisions, ultimately strengthening confidence in the fuels that power our economy.
The initiative expands on the success of the BQ-9000® quality assurance program, administered by the National Biodiesel Accreditation Commission (NBAC). Since 2017, NBAC and the National Lab of the Rockies have collected and analyzed data from BQ-9000 accredited producers, publishing annual analyses demonstrating that biodiesel from accredited producers consistently exceeds ASTM D6751 quality specifications.
Clean Fuels is now extending that same commitment to transparency and quality oversight across a broader range of fuels as renewable and alternative fuels continue to grow in the marketplace.
“As fuel diversity increases, the industry needs reliable information to help manage technical challenges and maintain customer confidence,” Fenwick said. “These reports are designed to provide a statistical snapshot of how fuels may perform in practice across the national distribution system, encouraging informed discussions around fuel quality programs and continuous improvement.”
