Broco secures New England’s first renewable diesel contract
New England energy provider Broco Energy recently secured a long-term contract with the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) to deliver renewable diesel to Massport facilities after clearing a pilot run.
The contract began Dec. 1, making a major milestone as the region’s first renewable diesel supply agreement, the company reported.
“We’re honored to move from our pilot program into a full contract with Massport,” Robert Brown, Broco president, said in a news release. “Our team has worked closely with Massport since early 2024 to prepare for this transition, investing in infrastructure upgrades, injection blending capabilities, and expanded fixed storage. This contract is a major achievement and a testament to the work we’ve put into advancing clean-energy adoption across New England.”
Following a competitive bid process, the veteran-owned company secured the contract over several larger industry suppliers, Broco added. Under the agreement, the company will supply renewable diesel to power a wide range of Massport’s essential operations, including:
- Logan Airport shuttle buses (Logan Express)
- Maintenance vehicles and grounds equipment
- Luggage carriers, generators, and support systems
- Fire trucks and emergency response units
- All internal Massport diesel-powered equipment
The one-year contract represents an estimated 1.2 million gallons of renewable diesel supplied to Massport’s operations.
The win demonstrates Broco’s ability to manage both delivery (downstream) and distribution (midstream) of renewable fuels, Broco maintained. Broco’s model leverages specialized rail shipments of American-made renewable diesel, strengthening regional supply security and positioning the company at the forefront of sustainable fuel distribution in the Northeast.
