Approved Oil Company’s commitment to sustainable solutions has earned recognition from the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), resulting in the award of a prestigious multi-year contract. Under this agreement, Approved Oil Company will be the designated supplier of Renewable Diesel for the fleets of various New York City agencies, including the Department of Sanitation (DSNY), the New York Police Department (NYPD), the New York Fire Department (FDNY), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), and the Department of Correction (DOC). By fueling these essential agency fleets with Renewable Diesel, Approved Oil Company is actively contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions and supporting New York City’s ambitious green initiatives.

Renewable Diesel represents a significant breakthrough in sustainable fuel technology, sourced from renewable materials like vegetable oils, animal fats, and used cooking oil. Molecularly identical to petroleum-based diesel, it complies with ASTM International’s standard for Diesel Fuel Oils (D-975). Its adoption ensures a seamless transition for existing diesel engines, emitting substantially fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases compared to traditional diesel.

Vincent Theurer, President & CEO at Approved Oil Company, expressed, “This pivotal partnership with the Department of Citywide Administrative Services signifies a major milestone in our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility. We take immense pride in leading the way by offering cleaner fuel alternatives that align with the city’s green objectives. This collaboration underscores our dedication to a greener, healthier future for all New Yorkers.”

Approved Oil Company’s unwavering dedication to being a foremost provider of sustainable energy solutions is now making a historic impact on New York City’s energy landscape. As a local NYC-based company, Approved Oil is particularly proud to have secured this landmark multi-year deal to supply the city with renewable diesel, contributing significantly to NYC’s green initiatives. Ultimately, this initiative will pave the way for a cleaner and more sustainable future for all New Yorkers and beyond.
