SeQuential, together with our parent company Crimson Renewable Energy, is the only large-scale biodiesel producer in Oregon, and one of the leading used cooking oil collectors on the West Coast.. We collect used cooking oil from all over the region and transform it into biodiesel – a cleaner, ultra-low carbon fuel that offers a 50% reduction in harmful particulate matter and hydrocarbon emissions, and a carbon footprint up to 85% smaller than petroleum diesel.

History

In many ways, our company was born in the same place our products begin: the back of a restaurant. Mazzi’s Italian eatery to be exact—the Eugene, Oregon pizza shop where Ian Hill and Tyson Keever first met in 2001. The pair shared a passion for the environment, and quickly struck up a friendship over a love for the outdoors and strong belief that there had to be a better way to create energy without harming the planet. SeQuential was formed a year later.

Early on, we sold homemade biodiesel by the barrel from a pickup truck. After thousands of miles on the road and hundreds of relationships forged, we now produce millions of gallons of ultra-low carbon biodiesel each year. And we’ve replicated our model across the west – collecting and recycling used cooking oil throughout Oregon,

Leadership Team Strong partnerships have always been a part of our DNA. In 2018 we were acquired by Crimson Renewable Energy – the largest producer of ultra-low carbon biodiesel on the West Coast – to take our mission to build a better energy model to a new level. As a part of Crimson Renewable Energy, we are one of only a handful companies in the U.S. handling on a large-scale the process from beginning to end: collecting used cooking oil, refining it into biodiesel and refueling vehicles, fleets, and fuel stations in our local communities.
