Crystal Clean’s HCC 150 Re-Refined Base Oil Produces 77% Less Greenhouse Gas Emissions Than Traditional Base Oil Products
Crystal Clean’s re-refined base oil transforms oil into a renewable resource, giving you a reliable product that brings together high-quality performance and proven greenhouse gas reduction benefits. Re-refined base oils represent a sustainable approach to the management of used oil products, creating a circular economy that transforms oil into a renewable resource. Used oil re-refining closes the loop in a circular economy by producing products such as base oils, fuel oils, and asphalt extender that are put back into use in a variety of industries.
In a study by environmental consulting firm ClimeCo, commissioned by Crystal Clean and critically reviewed by and independent third-party, Crystal Clean’s HCC 150 re-refined base oil product was found to have a GHG footprint 77% lower compared to virgin base oil. This study confirmed that re-refined base oils are a more sustainable alternative, both in virtue of reducing waste by recycling used oil, and through efficient operations to develop the re-refined product.
The Sustainability Advantage
Switching to a re-refined base oil like HCC 150 offers more than a reliable product. It dramatically lowers GHG emissions compared to virgin base oils, that brings together high-quality performance and environmental responsibility.
Dramatically Lower Emissions: HCC 150 re-refined base oil reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 77% compared to virgin base oils, with a GHG footprint of just 1.353 kg CO₂e per gallon.
Resource Conservation: By re-refining used oil, we eliminate the need for new crude oil extraction, significantly conserving natural resources and reducing waste.
Endless Possibilities in the Circular Economy: Our closed-loop process transforms used oil into high-quality base oils and co-products, minimizing environmental impact at every stage.
Transforming Oil Into A Renewable Resource
Thanks to advancements in re-refining technology, oil can now be transformed into a renewable resource. Used oil re-refining has quickly become a reliable process to take used oil and transform it into a recyclable, renewable resource.
