Powering the Future: HDRD Biodiesel with Kings Energy Group

HDRD (Hydrotreated Renewable Diesel), is produced through hydrotreating and hydrocracking to create a cleaner, more dependable fuel. It is virtually identical to petroleum diesel and can be used as a full replacement, unlike traditional biodiesel blends that have limits on use and storage.

At Kings Energy Group, we deliver more than fuel — we deliver high-touch service and proven solutions. We’re proud to have joined the Saskatchewan Industrial & Mining Suppliers Association (SIMSA). As a member, we’re excited to support the industrial and mining sector with fuel (HDRD AND FAME), bulk delivery solutions, and high-touch service that help keep operations efficient and reliable, produced right here in Western Canada.

Most have worked with traditional biodiesel — but we get asked all the time, what are the advantages of HDRD, and what is it?

Performance & Compatibility

  • High cetane number: Leads to better combustion, smoother engine performance, and easier cold starts.
  • Excellent cold flow properties: Performs well in cold climates (important in Western Canada), unlike some biodiesels that gel in low temperatures.
  • Lower particulate matter: Cleaner burning.  

Storage & Handling

  • Chemically stable: it does not absorb water as quickly.
  • Long shelf life: Comparable to petroleum diesel, which reduces fuel management concerns for bulk storage.  
  • Lower risk of filter plugging and fuel system contamination.
  • No need for separate winter/summer blends — consistent performance year-round.
