About
Your Fleet’s Future Starts Today
We have spent decades building the engines that keep vessels operating efficiently around the world. We also know that every Cat® engine represents a large monetary investment. That’s why we’re helping ensure that building a more sustainable fleet doesn’t mean you have to repower from scratch.
A host of biofuels, including biodiesel and renewable diesel, represent a practical step forward toward your sustainability goals. That means you can remain compliant with today’s regulations, while positioning yourself for what’s to come, all without the costly downtime and repowering associated with alternative energy solutions.
Proven benefits. Practical transition.
Caterpillar Marine helps you navigate the evolving energy landscape with flexible, efficient solutions. Our engines and generators have reliably operated on biofuels for over a decade.
We Go the extra (nautical) mile
Biofuels help you reduce carbon with the engines you already operate, maintaining trusted performance while preparing your fleet for future regulations.
Backed by maritime engine experts
Our reputation is built on the design, testing, and support of the maritime engines counted on in fleets around the world. That same dedication and expertise can be found in our biofuel solutions. We support biofuels proven to make a positive difference in your reduced-carbon performance by helping you find the right biofuel for your engines and operations.
Benefits of Biofuels
* Only purchase biofuels from reputable suppliers selling commercial-grade fuels that meet industry specifications. For more information on approved specifications, consult Cat Commercial Diesel Engine Fluids Recommendations (SEBU6251) or contact your Cat dealer.
** When using biofuels that meet recommended specifications.
*** CO2e reduction varies depending on feedstock and blend level. Tailpipe emissions are essentially the same as traditional fuels.
