Ski Resorts Adopt Renewable Diesel to Mitigate Fuel Cost Volatility
What happened
Ski resorts are facing high operational costs due to diesel prices, which currently stand at about $6.30 per gallon. To manage expenses and meet sustainability goals, many resorts are switching to renewable diesel made from feedstocks like vegetable oil and animal fats. Other ski areas, including those in Colorado, have also adopted this alternative fuel source.
